Punjab is witnessing one of its worst natural disasters in recent times, with more than 3.80 lakh people across 23 districts affected. To strengthen Punjab flood relief operations, Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann has announced the deployment of gazetted officers in every marooned village. This direct approach aims to ensure seamless communication between people and the administration, guaranteeing timely solutions for those in distress. With 1,698 villages submerged, the government is pushing massive rescue efforts to protect lives and livelihoods affected by the floods.
Gazetted Officers to Supervise Rescue Operations
The Punjab CM said that each flood-affected village will now have a dedicated gazetted officer. These officers will act as immediate points of contact, enabling residents to share problems related to health, food, shelter, or other urgent needs. This step is expected to boost transparency and efficiency in Punjab flood relief operations, ensuring no family feels abandoned in this crisis.
Relief, Rescue and Compensation Measures
Mann highlighted that ongoing rescue operations are being carried out on a war footing. Special emphasis is being placed on supplying food, medicines, and temporary shelters to those displaced. He further assured that a Special Girdawari (official survey) has been ordered to assess the losses caused by floods. This process, he said, will be conducted fairly so that affected families receive adequate compensation. He reiterated that his government will compensate every individual who has suffered losses due to the floods.
Government’s Commitment in Testing Times
The CM stressed that the state government stands firmly with its people during these testing times. He assured that all necessary steps are being taken to mitigate the hardships of the affected population. From administrative supervision to relief distribution, the focus remains on accelerating Punjab flood relief operations so that recovery becomes smoother and faster.
