Bhagwant Singh Mann said he had personally witnessed the suffering during his visits to flood-hit areas. He reminded people that the state government stands firmly with every family in this hour of pain. Mann praised social and religious groups for their relief work and applauded the resilience of Punjabis who continue to rise stronger after every crisis.

The Chief Minister announced ₹1.20 lakh for each fully damaged house and confirmed that 8,056 damaged homes belong to Gurdaspur district alone. He said that the state has already released the first installment of ₹70,000 and the remaining installments will follow quickly. He added that MGNREGA will provide 90 days of employment to beneficiaries rebuilding their homes.

Mann criticized the Centre for withholding the promised ₹1,600 crore flood-relief package. He said Punjab suffered losses worth ₹13,500 crore but still contributed 150 lakh tonnes of paddy to the national pool.

He also listed major reforms in jobs, education, sports and drug-control efforts.
