Sisodia said Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has agreed to bring a policy on this issue. Mann, who is in a Mohali hospital, will allow farmers to extract sand without delay. “If sand remains in the fields, crops will not grow,” Sisodia said.

He added that farmers will also be free to sell the sand. This will give them an extra source of income while recovering from crop losses.

Sisodia also urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to release the “pending” ₹60,000 crore relief fund. He said Punjab needs urgent financial support. Modi is visiting the flood-hit state on September 9, and Sisodia hopes the Centre will announce strong measures for the people.

The AAP party, ministers, MLAs, and Seechewal’s volunteers are working together to provide relief. Sisodia praised the spirit of Punjab, calling it “Punjabiyat,” where people selflessly help each other in tough times. He said the joint efforts of the state government and society are bringing immediate relief to affected families.

While relief continues, he noted the real challenge will begin once the floodwaters recede. Preparations are already underway to support rehabilitation and long-term safety. The state government will also seek expert advice from Seechewal to prevent future floods.

Seechewal raised the concerns of debt-ridden farmers, requesting relief on bank dues. Sisodia promised that the matter would be taken up with the state government for consideration.
