Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will visit flood-affected regions of the state today. The leaders are expected to meet families impacted by the floods and personally assess their condition.
CM Bhagwant Mann and Arvind Kejriwal to Visit Affected Areas
During the visit, they will also review the ongoing relief and rescue operations being carried out by the state machinery and local administration. The aim is to ensure that affected people receive adequate support in terms of food supplies, medical aid, and rehabilitation measures.
Punjab has been grappling with heavy rainfall and overflowing rivers in the past few weeks, which have caused severe flooding in several districts. Homes, farmlands, and local infrastructure have suffered extensive damage, leaving thousands displaced and dependent on government aid. In many low-lying areas, waterlogging has continued for days, making relief distribution a major challenge.
Bhagwant Mann and Arvind Kejriwal will include on-site inspections of villages and relief camps
Officials said that the visit of Bhagwant Mann and Arvind Kejriwal will include on-site inspections of villages and relief camps, where they will interact with locals, volunteers, and frontline workers. This is expected to help the government identify gaps in rescue efforts and speed up the rehabilitation process.
The Punjab government has already mobilized rescue teams, medical units, and disaster response forces, while NGOs and community groups have stepped in to provide immediate assistance. However, villagers in some interior regions continue to demand faster drainage systems and long-term solutions to prevent recurring flood crises.
By joining hands in this visit, Mann and Kejriwal also aim to send a message of solidarity and accountability, assuring flood-hit families that both state and allied leadership are committed to their welfare. More announcements regarding compensation and long-term flood management strategies may follow after the review.
