Anurag Dhanda Highlights Bhagwant Mann Government’s Historic Flood Relief Decisions for Farmers and Common People
Anurag Dhanda emphasized that the relief package is designed to help both farmers and the general public who are facing extreme hardships. The compensation for crop damage is expected to ease the financial burden on farmers who lost their entire produce due to rising floodwaters. Meanwhile, the ex-gratia payment to deceased families offers some solace to those who suffered the greatest loss.
The announcement of a loan repayment holiday for six months will provide immediate financial relief, preventing further economic distress for those already struggling with recovery costs. Additionally, the government’s focus on providing assistance for damaged livestock and homes further demonstrates a comprehensive approach to rehabilitating flood-affected communities.
This proactive relief effort led by CM Bhagwant Mann marks a significant step in Punjab’s disaster management strategy and reaffirms the government’s role as a protector of public welfare during natural calamities. Anurag Dhanda reiterated that such steps are in line with the government’s broader vision of supporting marginalized sections and promoting resilience in the face of climate-related challenges.
