Floods in Punjab destroyed the hard work and dreams of farmers, but the Aam Aadmi Party government did not leave them alone. Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann quickly took a big decision and announced that every affected farmer will get ₹20,000 per acre as compensation. This is not only the highest in Punjab but also the biggest compensation in the entire country.
The Mann government has taken this step by truly understanding the pain of farmers, not just on paper. While farmers in Haryana get a maximum of ₹15,000 per acre, Gujarat about ₹8,900 per acre, Madhya Pradesh about ₹12,950 per acre, and Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan mostly ₹5,000–₹7,000 per acre, Punjab farmers will now receive a straight ₹20,000 per acre. This decision is like a salute to the strength and hard work of farmers.
Not only this, but the government has also announced ₹4 lakh financial aid for the families of those who lost their lives in the floods. Farmers have also been allowed to sell the sand deposited in their fields, so they can get quick cash and prepare for the next sowing season. These steps clearly show that the government understands the struggles of farmers and wants to provide every possible relief.
At a time when Punjab’s farmers are battling with damaged fields and broken homes, this decision has come as a ray of hope. The Mann government has made it clear that if farmers collapse, the entire economy will collapse which is why supporting farmers first is most important. By keeping the compensation amount the highest in India, Punjab has set an example for the whole country.
This is not just about giving money. It is about giving farmers the assurance that the government feels their pain as its own. In this time of crisis, the message is loud and clear across Punjab this government will never leave farmers alone.
By placing farmers above everything, the Mann government has shown that farmers are not just voters, but the real strength of Punjab. This decision gives farmers both support in their struggle and confidence for the future. The victory of farmers is the victory of Punjab, and the Mann government stands firmly with them in every situation.
