As incessant rains wreak havoc in Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and J&K, Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Monday held a meeting to assess damage.
Chouhan said he would soon visit Punjab to conduct ground assessment of crop loss and engage farmers on the impact of floods.
“I especially wish to assure my farmer friends in Punjab not to worry about anything. The Union Government is with them in this hour of crisis. I will soon visit flood-affected areas of Punjab and meet farmers,” he said.
Meanwhile, the inter-ministerial central teams constituted by the Ministry of Home Affairs will visit flood-hit areas in Punjab on Tuesday.
