Channi said the state government wasn’t serious about flood relief. He argued that political infighting, not the CM’s health, caused the delay in aid. He made these comments while accompanying Bhupesh Baghel, Congress’ Punjab in-charge, on a visit to six flood-hit districts.

Baghel, a former Chhattisgarh CM, flagged off relief material for victims. He pointed out that both the state and central governments had failed in their response. He accused the authorities of withholding key data on flood damages. He also criticized PM Modi for not addressing the crisis on social media.

Channi added that Congress workers were active in relief efforts. He suggested that senior party leaders might soon visit the affected areas.

The state government has ordered the closure of schools in severely hit regions to ensure the safety of children. With roads submerged and electricity supply interrupted in many towns and villages, normal life has been thrown out of gear. Rescue teams, including the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), local administration, and volunteers, are working around the clock to relocate stranded people and deliver essential supplies.

Agriculture, the backbone of Punjab’s economy, has been hit hard. Thousands of acres of paddy fields are underwater, raising concerns of significant crop loss. Livestock has also been affected, adding to the distress of farmers. Health officials are warning about the risk of waterborne diseases spreading in flood-hit areas.

Chief Minister has appealed to citizens to remain calm and cooperate with authorities. He also urged the central government for urgent assistance to tackle the crisis and speed up relief efforts across the state.
