Detailed Solution

Due to the Western Disturbances, the states of Punjab and Haryana receive winter rainfall.
The Western Disturbances, an extratropical storm that forms in the Mediterranean Sea, causes rain in these areas. Most of the winter, as well as pre-monsoon season rainfall causes Western Disturbances in India's Northwestern regions. Western disturbances, particularly those that occur in the winter, bring moderate to heavy rain to low-lying areas. Excessive precipitation caused by this disturbance, on the other hand, causes crop damage, landslides, and avalanches.
