Arora visited flood-hit areas in Ajnala and Ramdas along with PWD Minister Harbhajan Singh ETO and MLA Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal. He reviewed the damage and inspected ongoing relief operations by the district administration.

He said nearly 3 lakh acres of farmland, mostly paddy, remain under water. Farmers face huge crop losses weeks before harvest. Many households also lost livestock, worsening the crisis for rural families that depend on dairy and farming.

Arora criticised the BJP-led Central Government for ignoring Punjab. He said the state has lost ₹50,000 crore in revenue since GST and another ₹8,000 crore is stuck under RDF and MDF. He also pointed out that PMGSY projects worth ₹828 crore were scrapped, weakening rural connectivity.

The minister said current relief rates—₹6,800 per acre for crop damage and ₹1.20 lakh for homes—are unfair. He demanded ₹50,000 per acre for farmers and higher aid for houses and deaths. “Punjab needs urgent help, not photo sessions,” Arora said.
