Farmers from Rajasthan, Haryana send aid for Punjab flood victims
As the flood situation continues to worsen in Punjab, people from neighbouring states, especially farmers, have started sending relief material for the affected areas.
Talking to The Tribune, MLA Sadulshahar, Rajasthan Gurveer Singh Brar said, “The first batch of ration and fodder from Chak Mahraj Ka village has been dispatched for the flood-affected Fazilka district today. I have already appealed to our brethren in Rajasthan to extend help to Punjab. A number of people from Sriganganagar and Hanumangarh districts are coming forward for this cause.”
Manjit Singh, a farmer from Sriganganagar district in Rajasthan, said, “This natural calamity is taking a toll on our fellow farmers in Punjab. We are doing our bit by sending food items and fodder for their livestock.”
Meanwhile, Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma on Monday spoke with Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann regarding the situation caused by excessive rain in the border areas of both states, and assured all possible assistance.
