Sahney’s donation is the first major contribution to this campaign. The funds will help restore infrastructure in flood-hit areas. Sahney also donated 50 tractors and 10 JCB machines through his Sun Foundation to help remove silt from villages and towns.

The floods caused widespread damage to Punjab’s roads and bridges. Thousands of kilometers of roads and many bridges were destroyed. The state faces significant financial challenges. The Mission Chardi Kalan campaign aims to raise funds to aid recovery and rebuild vital infrastructure.

NRIs, local philanthropists, and others have already contributed money and goods. This campaign is critical to helping Punjab get back on its feet and recover from the disaster.

Earlier, Kejriwal announced that Saurabh Bharadwaj, the Delhi unit president of AAP, will be arriving in Punjab with essential relief supplies. In addition, every day, AAP leaders, MLAs, MPs, and citizens from Delhi will send trucks carrying relief materials to Punjab. Residential Welfare Associations (RWAs) and traders are also offering support in various ways to assist those impacted by the floods.

Kejriwal expressed gratitude for the widespread help, stating that people from all over the country are contributing to the relief efforts. “Today, the entire nation stands with Punjab,” he said.

Furthermore, AAP MLAs and MPs are donating one month’s salary to the Punjab Chief Minister’s Relief Fund to aid the flood victims.

The ongoing floods in Punjab have been caused by the rising waters of the Sutlej, Beas, and Ravi rivers, as well as seasonal rivulets, following heavy rains in their catchment areas in Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir.
