The Congress leader was accompanied by Punjab Congress chief Amrinder Singh Raja Warring, Leader of Opposition in the Punjab Assembly Partap Singh Bajwa, Amritsar MP Gurjeet Singh Aujla, and other party leaders. After arriving in Amritsar, he headed to Ghonewal village in Ajnala, where he interacted with flood-affected people and listened to their concerns about property and livelihood losses.

After visiting Ghonewal village, Rahul Gandhi will pay obeisance at the historic Gurdwara Baba Budha Sahib in Ramdas area. He will also tour flood-hit areas in Gurdaspur district to meet locals and monitor relief efforts firsthand.

Punjab has suffered one of its worst flood disasters in decades. Heavy rains in Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir swelled the Sutlej, Beas, and Ravi rivers, causing widespread flooding. The current death toll stands at 56, while floods damaged crops on nearly 1.98 lakh hectares. Authorities continue to coordinate rescue and relief operations across affected districts.
