Former Punjab Minister Jagmohan Singh Kang has written an open letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In it, he urged the Centre to announce an urgent financial relief package for Punjab.
Kang said record rainfall and flooding from the Sutlej, Beas, and Ravi rivers had devastated the state. He highlighted the heavy loss of lives, property, and crops. The scale of destruction, he added, is beyond measure and demands quick support.
He appealed to the Prime Minister to act with compassion and keep politics aside. Kang warned that strained ties between the AAP government in Punjab and the Union Government must not affect common people.
“As a concerned citizen, I request you to extend help with an open heart. Punjab now needs maximum assistance, without discrimination or delay,” Kang wrote.
Calling Punjab the land of Gurus, saints, patriots, and warriors, he asked the Centre to stand with the state in this crisis. He urged for immediate financial aid and rehabilitation measures to rebuild lives and livelihoods.
