Chandigarh, September 12 || Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Friday chaired a high-level meeting with officials to review the ongoing relief and rehabilitation measures in flood-hit areas of the state.
He interacted with all Deputy Commissioners through video conferencing and directed them to ensure that comprehensive surveys of crop, livestock, and household damage are conducted without delay.
Mann reiterated that Punjab will provide the highest compensation in the country to affected families. "This is not just an announcement.
Unlike earlier times when farmers were given meagre cheques of Rs. 26, this time, strict instructions have been issued to DCs to ensure fair and transparent assessment. I belong to a farmer's family; my own fields have been submerged in the past. I know the pain," he said.
