Punjab News: Arvind Kejriwal Visits Sultanpur Lodhi; CM Mann Sick latest news: Aam Aadmi Party's national convener Arvind Kejriwal visited flood-affected areas in Sultanpur Lodhi, Kapurthala district, Punjab. He reviewed the relief work and met with affected families.
Addressing the media after the visit, he said, “For the first time in 37 years since 1988, Punjab is grappling with such a severe flood. But our government, ministers, MLAs, officials, and our volunteers are working day and night to help people and carry out relief efforts.”
Kejriwal mentioned that many families refuse to leave their houses, even in inundated conditions, due to fear of theft.
“Help is being delivered right to their homes for those who are refusing to leave their villages. Adequate arrangements have been made for people who have come to stay in the relief camps,” he said.
He added that a gazetted officer has been appointed for every flood-affected village so that people do not have to run around for help.
“The crisis is big, but even bigger is the spirit of Punjabis and their sense of helping each other. This very spirit will soon take us out of this disaster,” Kejriwal said.
Nearly 1,400 villages and over 3 lakh people have been affected by the floods.
