Mann Govt's Mission Chardhi Kala: Imagine one night your home, your dreams, your unshortened life gets washed yonder in water. This is the reality for over 700,000 people in Punjab. This natural havoc submerged 2,300 villages, well-expressed 2 million people, of which 700,000 were rendered homeless. Fifty-six precious lives were lost and myriad dreams shattered. These are not just statistics – they are human stories of pain, families still sitting in relief camps uncertain of their future.
Punjab Govt's Initiative
Take for instance the story of 45-year-old Veero Bai of Guddar Bhaini village in Fazilka district. Since August 26, she has been living in a relief camp. “We had to leave overdue everything, big and small, when the Satluj waters gushed into our house and rose three feet high,” she recalls. Like her, thousands of families are waiting to go when home.This is Punjab’s most devastating inflowing in scrutinizingly four decades. Nearly 500,000 acres of crops were destroyed, wiping out months of farmers’ labor overnight. Virtually 3,200 government schools suffered damages, where children’s dreams once took shape. Initial estimates suggest losses of well-nigh Rs 13,800 crore, but the pain and struggle people are going through cannot be measured in numbers.
Punjab Govt as a ray of hope
In these trying times, the Punjab government has emerged as a ray of hope. Under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, firsthand response deportment were undertaken. Government teams worked virtually the clock on relief and rescue, saving thousands of lives. Relief camps were set up, supplies and medicines distributed. The quick response of the government is commendable. Officers and workers risked their lives in flood-hit areas to serve the people. This stands as proof that Punjab’s government stands with its people, as their shield in every crisis.
