Akalis chip in, send 10 trucks of essentials

Sangrur, August 26

Blaming the Punjab Government for the mismanagement of the flood-control operations, SAD leaders, led by former state Finance Minister and Lehra MLA Parminder Dhindsa, on Monday sent 10 trucks loaded with fodder and other essential items to the affected areas.

“Despite getting information in advance from the Bhakra Beas Management Board, the state government failed to prevent floods. It is now trying to shift the blame on the Centre. It’s the responsibility of the state government to make all arrangements,” Dhindsa said.

“We will send more trucks in coming days. Our leaders from other districts are collecting the required items after taking a feedback from our party workers from the flood-affected areas.” — TNS
