The Aam Aadmi Party launched the Rangla Punjab Vikas Fund. Leaders and district officials are mobilising donations from NRIs, businesses, and supporters. Local MLAs now compete to show bigger contributions and visible relief on the ground.

The BJP delivers ration packets with the Prime Minister’s image. The party expects central help: a Rs 600-crore soft loan and earlier SDRF instalments. Funds under schemes for roads, schools, and drinking water repairs are also expected soon.

The Shiromani Akali Dal and SGPC distribute cash, wheat seeds, and grain bags. They target villages affected by breaches in embankments.

Congress activists made isolated efforts. Leaders donated personally and distributed kits. However, the party lacks a coordinated statewide relief plan. Farmers face heavy losses. Silted fields covering lakh-scale acres will take months to clear. Many crops are ruined.

With Punjab’s tight finances, parties rely on private donations, CSR, and central assistance. These funds meet urgent needs and shape voters’ memories before the next election.

Using his MPLAD fund, Harbhajan provided eight steamer boats. In addition, he personally donated three more boats, making it a total of 11. Each boat cost between ₹4.5 lakh and ₹5.5 lakh. He also purchased three ambulances to ensure patients in critical condition can be taken safely to hospitals.

Punjab has been struggling with floods caused by heavy monsoon rains and breaches in river embankments. Many areas are still waterlogged, with families displaced and crops destroyed. Relief teams and volunteers continue rescue efforts.

Harbhajan also reached out to friends and sports organizations for financial help. A sports body donated ₹30 lakh, while two of his friends contributed ₹12 lakh and ₹6 lakh. So far, nearly ₹50 lakh has been raised for relief work. Food and medicines are being supplied to families in need.

Representing the Aam Aadmi Party in the Rajya Sabha, Harbhajan Singh has assured that more aid will be extended as the situation demands.
