The minister said Prime Minister Narendra Modi had asked Union ministers to visit flood-hit regions. They were directed to meet families, listen to their concerns, and assess the ground situation.

Khadse visited Patiala district, mainly the Ghanaur Assembly segment. She was accompanied by BJP leader and former Patiala MP Preneet Kaur.

She met families in Jand Mangoli, Untsar, Kami Khurd, and Chamaru villages. Many residents described heavy crop losses and damage to homes caused by the overflowing Ghaggar river.

Taking note of their difficulties, Khadse instructed the SDM to conduct a comprehensive survey. She said compensation should reach victims directly and without delay. Relief must be transparent and fair.

Her visit was part of a broader exercise launched after the Prime Minister’s recent tour of Punjab. Several Union ministers have been deployed to inspect flood-hit districts and coordinate with state authorities.

Farmers expressed hope that the survey will ensure faster relief. They also demanded long-term measures to prevent recurring flood damage.

Kang said record rainfall and flooding from the Sutlej, Beas, and Ravi rivers had devastated the state. He highlighted the heavy loss of lives, property, and crops. The scale of destruction, he added, is beyond measure and demands quick support.

He appealed to the Prime Minister to act with compassion and keep politics aside. Kang warned that strained ties between the AAP government in Punjab and the Union Government must not affect common people.

“As a concerned citizen, I request you to extend help with an open heart. Punjab now needs maximum assistance, without discrimination or delay,” Kang wrote.

Calling Punjab the land of Gurus, saints, patriots, and warriors, he asked the Centre to stand with the state in this crisis. He urged for immediate financial aid and rehabilitation measures to rebuild lives and livelihoods.

He stated that Punjab’s rivers, once a blessing, had now become a curse because of poor planning and mismanagement. “This is not destiny, it is a man-made disaster and a government failure,” Sidhu said. He added that while politicians fed their greed, Punjab continued to face the brunt of floods.

According to Sidhu, the crisis has deep roots in chronic mismanagement of river systems and weak governance. He pointed to illegal mining and unchecked siltation as the main reasons behind the rising water levels. Sidhu urged that Punjab needed urgent corrective measures before the situation worsened further.

The Congress leader’s statement has added fuel to the political debate, with questions now being raised about accountability and long-term planning to prevent such disasters in the future.
