Punjab Govt provided ₹1.02 crore in flood relief to affected families, offering the highest compensation in India under Mission Chardi Kala.
Cabinet Minister Barinder Kumar Goyal gave compensation sanction letters totaling ₹1.02 crore to 280 residents impacted by heavy rainfall and flood-like conditions at a special event held in Lehragaga, continuing the Punjab Government’s continuous commitment to economic security and public welfare under the dynamic leadership of Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann.
“The Punjab Government, under the leadership of Chief Minister Mann, stands firmly with every citizen affected by natural calamities like floods or excessive rainfall,” Goyal said in his speech to the crowd.
The flood-affected residents of several villages in Narot Jaimal Singh in the Pathankot District received compensation payments totaling Rs. 45 lakh today from Food, Civil Supplies, Consumer Affairs, Forest, and Wildlife Preservation Minister Lal Chand Kataruchak, who also reaffirmed the State Government’s unwavering commitment to providing all necessary aid to the impacted population.
Continuing its extensive outreach under Mission Chardi Kala, the state government provided financial aid to flood-affected households around the state on the third day in a row of the third phase of relief distribution. According to an official spokeswoman, Ranbir Singh Bhullar (MLA Ferozepur Urban) gave flood relief approval letters totaling Rs. 4.85 crore to 732 flood-affected people in the village of Bandala in the Ferozepur district.

In order to help people regain their means of subsistence, the state has also provided compensation for livestock losses at a rate of Rs. 37,500 for milch animals, Rs. 32,000 for non-milch animals, Rs. 20,000 for calf animals, and Rs. 100 for chicken birds.
