Haryana Village Still Submerged Three Months After Floods, Residents Forced to Walk School Walls

Hisar, Haryana, December 1, 2025 – Three months after catastrophic floods ravaged Haryana, the residents of Badhawar village in Hisar district remain stranded and largely forgotten, struggling with floodwaters that continue to inundate their homes and farmland. Approximately 150 families are now forced to use a precarious, water-logged school boundary wall as their only means of access to the outside world, facing daily risks from the elements and dangerous wildlife.

The floods, which struck in late August, impacted over 6,395 villages across Haryana, with Yamuna Nagar, Ambala, and Mewat suffering the most damage. In Hisar, around 78,000 farmers have registered crop loss on 4.71 lakh acres. While many families have returned to Badhawar after being displaced, the village remains largely submerged, forcing residents, including children, to balance on the narrow wall daily to reach schools, fetch water, and perform basic chores.

“Even after three months, the administration has failed to provide us safe connectivity,” said Meenakshi, a resident of Badhawar. “All of us, even the children, walk on this wall multiple times through the day.”

Farmers have reported complete crop loss for the kharif season, and worry about being able to plant for the rabi season. The Kshatipurti portal, a government platform for registering claims, indicates a completed crop survey for Hisar, but villagers claim no compensation or communication has been received.

Local resident Poonam expressed frustration over the lack of response from authorities, stating that “those who actually ‘matter’ never show up.” According to residents, requests for assistance to local government officials have been denied.

While Chief Minister Nayab Saini stated in October that compensation of up to ₹15,000 per acre would be provided and crop loans deferred, the reality on the ground paints a different picture. Villagers like Vikas report no communication regarding surveys or compensation. The current situation has left vulnerable members of the population without work or the funds to repair damaged homes.

Local sources allege the administration’s response has been slow due to political reasons. Despite the efforts of some non-profit organizations, the people of Badhawar feel abandoned, facing an uncertain future amidst the lingering floodwaters. The Sub-Divisional Officer has not responded to requests for comment.
