AAP leader and national media in-charge Anurag Dhanda shared on social media that Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has set an extraordinary example of leadership. Mann not only donated his helicopter for flood relief operations but also personally visited the worst-hit regions to stand with the people.
In a rare display of humility and responsibility, CM Bhagwant Mann chose to forgo his own convenience to ensure that the Punjab government’s resources are directed toward flood rescue and relief. His helicopter will now be used for transporting essential supplies, rescue teams, and medical assistance to hard-to-reach areas marooned by rising waters.
Instead of staying away from the ground, Mann personally reached flood-affected regions, interacting with locals, listening to their struggles, and overseeing the distribution of relief material. His hands-on involvement has been widely praised, with many calling it a reflection of the “aam aadmi spirit” that his government represents.
Flood Situation in Punjab
Several parts of Punjab, especially areas along the Sutlej river and its adjoining villages, have been facing flood-like conditions due to heavy rainfall and water overflow. Families have lost homes, crops, and livestock, forcing many to take shelter on higher ground. Relief measures such as ration supply, medicines, and animal fodder are being delivered to affected people.
Mann’s decision to divert his helicopter for relief operations is being seen as a critical step to accelerate rescue and support in remote villages that remain cut off due to waterlogging.
Public Reaction: A CM Among the People
The gesture has received an overwhelmingly positive response online. Social media users and citizens have lauded the Chief Minister, with journalist Anurag Dhanda tweeting:
“Ye hota hai jab ek aam aadmi CM banta hai.”
People across Punjab are calling it an unprecedented example of leadership where the Chief Minister is not just administrating from offices but is personally involved in relief efforts.
What Lies Ahead
With floodwaters still posing a threat, Bhagwant Mann has assured the public that every possible resource will be mobilized until normalcy returns. The Punjab government continues to monitor the situation and provide assistance to those in need.
