As Punjab reels under heavy floods, farmers from neighbouring Rajasthan and Haryana have stepped forward with timely help. Their solidarity reflects the strong bond built during the Kisan Andolan of 2020–21.
On Sunday, Gurveer Singh Brar, MLA from Sadulshahar, Rajasthan, confirmed that relief trucks carrying ration and fodder from Chak Mahraj Ka village were sent to Fazilka district, one of the worst-hit regions. He added that more farmers from Sriganganagar and Hanumangarh districts have pledged support.
Manjit Singh, a farmer from Sriganganagar, said the calamity has devastated Punjab’s farmers, and it is their responsibility to ensure no family or livestock goes hungry. The first consignment carried essential food items and fodder, while more supplies are being arranged.
In Haryana, farmers from Ladwa village in Hisar district dispatched tractor-trailers filled with relief goods. They said unity among farmers has always been their strength, and this disaster calls for collective action.
With crops destroyed, villages inundated, and families displaced, Punjab faces severe challenges. However, the aid coming from Rajasthan and Haryana provides a ray of hope. Farmers believe that helping each other in tough times keeps their community strong and resilient across state borders.
