Punjab News: Floodwaters from the Sutlej River have impacted a number of villages around Ferozepur, creating difficulties for local communities. To ensure immediate aid, MLA Ranbir Singh Bhullar conducted field visits, listening to the grievances of villagers and taking stock of their urgent requirements. During his visit, he handed over essential food supplies, relief goods, and fodder for animals to help residents cope with the challenging circumstances.
Bhullar emphasized that Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has instructed all departments to remain on alert and prioritize the safety and well-being of flood-affected residents. He reassured villagers that both the state government and local administration are actively working to provide consistent assistance.
Government’s Commitment to Flood-Hit Families
MLA Bhullar highlighted that floods not only disrupt human lives but also severely affect agriculture and livestock, which are the backbone of Punjab’s rural economy. The distribution of fodder alongside food supplies reflects the government’s recognition of these wider challenges. He further assured that more relief camps and supplies would continue to reach villages until normalcy is restored.
The Punjab government under Bhagwant Mann has already directed officials to monitor flood-prone areas and ensure that no family is left unattended. Relief measures are being implemented in coordination with district administrations and local volunteers.
Community Response and Future Measures
Villagers welcomed the proactive approach and expressed gratitude for the timely support. However, they also urged for long-term solutions such as stronger embankments and preventive measures to mitigate the recurring issue of floods in the region.
With the monsoon season still ongoing, MLA Bhullar confirmed that the government is preparing for further contingencies. He appealed to people to remain cautious and to contact local authorities for immediate assistance whenever required.
