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.

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.

Residents in low-lying areas have been advised to move to upper floors or seek shelter in safer locations. Relief centers have been set up at various sites, including Satsang Ghars along Rahon Road and schools in Mattewara. Authorities also urge people to secure important documents in waterproof bags.

The state faces one of the worst flood disasters in decades, with the overflowing Sutlej, Beas, and Ravi rivers and heavy rains causing widespread damage. Over 21,000 people have been evacuated, and 3.84 lakh individuals have been affected in 1,902 villages across 23 districts. More than 1.7 lakh hectares of crops have been submerged.

The death toll has risen to 43, with the highest casualties in Hoshiarpur and Pathankot. Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has coordinated relief efforts and ordered an immediate assessment of damages to crops and infrastructure.

Warring shared the stage with senior leaders Charanjit Singh Channi, Partap Singh Bajwa, Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa, and Pargat Singh. Their presence highlighted party unity and strength against rivals.

Targeting the AAP government, the Punjab Congress chief alleged that the recent floods were a man-made disaster. He said the state failed to release water from dams on time despite rain warnings. He also blamed the Centre for ignoring preventive measures, adding that both AAP and BJP betrayed Punjab.

Pargat Singh called the flood crisis part of a “political conspiracy,” while Channi accused AAP of record-level corruption.

Earlier, Warring visited Pargat Singh’s residence, signaling peace after reports of differences. He later posted that both leaders are focused on strengthening Congress at the grassroots.
