Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann was on a visit to Ferozepur today. During this, he took stock of the flood-affected areas. He took stock of the crops and houses of the people. During this, the CM himself became emotional after listening to the pain of the people.
He assured the people that the government will help them in every possible way. At the same time, he said that we have asked for our 60 thousand crore rupees from the Center. He has made it clear that we are not begging from the Center, but asking for our rights.
Punjab always stands with the country
The CM said that Punjab is called the food bowl of the country. Whatever situation has come, Punjab has always stood with the country. Be it the freedom struggle or the Green Revolution or any other fight. But today Punjab is going through a time of crisis. Just as Punjab has always stood for the country and today Punjab is in crisis, it is expected that the country will also stand with Punjab.
The army provided 20 helicopters
The CM said that I am asking for Punjab's rights, not begging. PM Sahab and the Home Minister had called. They have taken stock of the entire situation. Even at this time, people are sitting on the roofs of their houses and bridges, but are not ready to leave their homes. In this hour of trouble, the army has provided 20 helicopters, for which I thank the Indian Army.
