Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann made a pivotal visit to the flood-stricken Gurdaspur district on Wednesday, aiming to evaluate and orchestrate local relief measures.

Adverse weather conditions have caused rivers and rivulets to swell, inundating numerous villages in Punjab. During his Gurdaspur visit, Mann engaged with locals to scrutinize the ongoing rescue and relief missions.
He acknowledged the dire circumstances, with many unable to leave their inundated homes, stressing the importance of swift assistance. As a result, local administrations, reinforced by the National Disaster Response Force, Army, and state agencies, persist in their exhaustive relief endeavors across severely impacted districts.
