Is any department concerned, or are any steps being undertaken to mitigate the crises?

In India, the majority of states have received an average of 45-50% monsoon rains. Is it not a serious matter, as adequate rainwater has not seeped into mother earth? There will be drinking water crises news in November–December.
In Firozpur Rural, Congress candidate Ashu Bangar secured only 20,396 votes (13.5%), finishing a clear third as AAP surged past 75,000 votes and the Akalis stayed well ahead. For Congress, this was not just a loss, but a collapse of position in a seat it once hoped to compete in. The result raises a blunt question, was Ashu Bangar a victim of Congress’s weak ground machinery or did voters consciously reject the party altogether ? And if Congress is now reduced to the margins in rural seats like Firozpur, what does that signal for its fight in 2027 ?
फिरोज़पुर ग्रामीण में कांग्रेस उम्मीदवार आशु बांगड़ को केवल 20,396 वोट (13.5%) मिले और वे साफ तौर पर तीसरे स्थान पर रहे, जबकि ‘आप’ ने 75,000 से ज़्यादा वोट हासिल किए और अकाली दल भी उनसे काफी आगे रहा। कांग्रेस के लिए यह सिर्फ हार नहीं थी बल्कि उस सीट पर पकड़ का टूटना था, जहां वह कभी मुकाबले की उम्मीद करती थी। नतीजा एक सीधा सवाल खड़ा करता है, क्या आशु बांगड़ कांग्रेस के कमजोर ज़मीनी संगठन का शिकार हुए या मतदाताओं ने जान-बूझ कर पार्टी को नकार दिया ? और अगर ग्रामीण सीटों पर कांग्रेस हाशिये पर जा रही है, तो 2027 की लड़ाई के लिए यह क्या संकेत देता है ?
In Ludhiana East, Sanjay (Sanjeev) Talwar, who served as MLA from 2017 to 2022, could manage only 32,760 votes (22.67%) in the election, finishing a distant second as AAP surged ahead. For a sitting MLA just one term ago, the fall was steep. Was Talwar rejected by voters or did Congress fail to defend its own former MLA with organisation and direction ? And if a recent MLA couldn’t retain trust here, what does that signal for Congress’s chances in Ludhiana East by 2027 ?
