The CM said the Punjab Government will organise grand and historic programmes to honor Guru Teg Bahadur, also known as “Hind di Chadar.” Logo unveiled for Guru Teg Bahadur martyrdom day events is a symbolic start to these once-in-a-lifetime celebrations.

According to the plan, a massive kirtan darbar will take place in Delhi on October 25. On November 25, a major event will be held at Anandpur Sahib, the sacred land associated with the Guru. From November 20, four nagar kirtans will start from Jammu, Gurdaspur, Faridkot, and Takht Damdama Sahib. All processions will reach Anandpur Sahib by November 22, followed by three days of spiritual and cultural functions.

Mann said the underlying message of the commemorations is to inspire people to follow the ideals of secularism, humanism, and sacrifice taught by Guru Teg Bahadur. The government aims to make the 350th martyrdom day a memorable and historic occasion for generations to come.

With this revision, Verka has slashed prices across its wide range. Ghee will be cheaper by Rs 30–35 per litre or kg. Table butter will drop by Rs 30 per kg, while unsalted butter will see a Rs 35 cut per kg. Processed cheese prices will reduce by Rs 20 per kg. Standard, toned, and double-toned milk will now cost Rs 2 less per litre.

Other popular items are also getting cheaper. Paneer will reduce by Rs 15 per kg, and ice cream varieties such as gallons, bricks, and tubs will fall by Rs 10 per litre.

The Punjab CM said this step ensures that the benefits of GST cuts directly reach the common man, easing household budgets. The announcement is expected to bring relief to families and boost Verka’s sales across the state.

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.

Mann had been running a high fever for three days, reportedly due to a bacterial infection. He also complained of exhaustion and a low heart rate. Sources said he likely contracted the infection from unclean water during his visits to flood-hit areas earlier this week. Initially treated at home, he was later shifted to hospital when his condition did not improve.

Because of his illness, the Punjab Cabinet meeting scheduled for Thursday evening was cancelled. The meeting was meant to review the ongoing crisis in flood-ravaged areas. Floods have already caused 43 deaths and damaged crops across 4.3 lakh acres.

AAP officials dismissed speculation linking his illness to political developments, including the escape of party MLA Harmeet Singh Pathanmajra. Meanwhile, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal visited Mann in the hospital before heading to Sultanpur Lodhi with AAP Punjab Chief Aman Arora to oversee relief efforts.

Mann’s recovery brings relief to the state leadership during Punjab’s ongoing flood crisis.

Mann met villagers, farmers, and shopkeepers who lost homes, crops, and businesses. He promised that the Punjab government will compensate for every penny lost. He directed officials to speed up damage checks and release aid quickly.

The Chief Minister added that relief will not stop with money. Roads, water supply, and medical care will also be restored in the affected areas. He urged people to remain strong while rescue and rehabilitation continue.

Floods have damaged thousands of acres of farmland and displaced many families. Bhagwant Mann’s assurance of full compensation has raised hope among victims waiting for timely support.
