This initiative is not just a reflection of one Minister’s personal commitment, it is a powerful example of the Punjab Government’s sensitivity, responsibility, and dedication towards its people.
Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann, despite being hospitalized, announced sweeping relief for flood-hit citizens. Farmers will get record compensation, victims’ families financial aid, and loan relief, as the AAP government commits unprecedented support, with Kejriwal calling it a milestone in governance.
The disaster in Punjab spared no one—humans, their dreams, or the voiceless creatures. Over 1,400 villages submerged, 3.5 lakh people affected, yet amidst the chaos, a rare act of compassion emerged.
Hardeep Singh Mundian said that during the last 24 hours, 19 more villages of Jalandhar district have been affected, while during the same period, 13 villages of Ludhiana, 6 of Ferozepur, 5 of Amritsar, 4 of Hoshiarpur and one village of Fazilka district have been affected.
While thousands of people were rendered homeless due to the recent severe floods in Punjab, 43 families are struggling with the pain of losing their loved ones.
Amid severe floods in Punjab, the state government has allocated large reserves of petrol, diesel and LPG cylinders for districts. The initiative is aimed at ensuring uninterrupted relief operations and timely supply of essential fuel during the crisis.
Punjab Revenue Minister Hardeep Singh Mundian said the government led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann is fully committed to compensate flood losses and provide complete support and relief to every affected family across Punjab.
Hardeep Singh Mundian today informed that as a immediate measure, the State Government has released a total Rs.71 crore to deal with the situation.
During his visit to Ferozepur’s flood-affected villages, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann criticized the Centre’s relief policy. He said the current standards are outdated, offering little help to farmers and families who lost crops, livestock, homes, and their livelihoods.
In this difficult time of natural calamity, the Aam Aadmi Party government of Punjab has presented a historic example of service and dedication. The ongoing flood relief campaign led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann proves that when the people are in crisis, the true and right government goes among the people and stands with them.
Relentless rains and floods in Punjab have devastated 12 districts, affecting over 2.56 lakh people. More than 15,000 have been evacuated, while the government intensifies relief and rehabilitation operations.
Over 1,300 villages remain affected by floods, while rescue operations continue with the support of NDRF, SDRF, Army, Navy, Air Force, Punjab Police, and NGOs.
