Pakistan's minister blames construction for floods, as Indian floods impact over 250,000 people.

Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif asserts that unchecked construction on riverbeds, not divine will, is the real cause of flood devastation. Meanwhile, floods in India's Punjab have marooned over a thousand villages, killed at least 29 people, and affected more than 250,000 individuals, causing widespread crop loss. Both countries blame climate change and poorly planned development for the increased frequency and severity of such disasters.
