Flood relief operations pick up pace

With devastating floods continuing to disrupt life across Punjab, relief operations have intensified as political parties and the district administration rally to assist thousands of affected families and safeguard livestock.

In Nakodar and Shahkot constituencies, torrential rains have submerged farmland and destroyed homes, leaving residents in critical need. BJP district president (Rural) Munish Dhir met Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, urging the Delhi government to release urgent financial aid. “Sufficient funds are required to carry out relief and resettlement so that flood victims can receive immediate help and reconstruction can begin,” Dhir emphasised.

Relief efforts are gaining traction on multiple fronts. The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) dispatched a mini-truck loaded with ration, clothes and tarpaulins from Phagwara and Goraya to border villages in Amritsar. State BSP president Avtar Singh Karimpuri, who flagged off the consignment, commended grassroots party units for their swift action and called on both the Punjab and Central governments to announce compensation without delay. “Timely aid is critical for displaced families to rebuild their lives,” Karimpuri stated.

Relief and rehabilitation efforts continue to expand as authorities and political representatives coordinate to mitigate the impact of the floods and restore normalcy across affected regions.
