Punjab’s Rural Development and Panchayats Minister, Tarunpreet Singh Sond, has appealed to financially capable panchayats to extend support towards relief and rehabilitation efforts in flood-affected villages. Sond said that thousands of villages in Punjab have been severely impacted by the recent floods, necessitating immediate relief measures. Urgent actions such as clearing accumulated debris, silt, and carcasses of animals, as well as repairing damaged panchayat infrastructure, are the need of the hour. Highlighting that many panchayats possess substantial funds in the form of fixed deposits, received as compensation for land acquisition, the Minister urged them to contribute a portion of these resources.
He appealed that if panchayats were to allocate at least 5% of the principal amount of their fixed deposits towards relief efforts, it would not only serve as a humanitarian gesture but also reflect solidarity with the flood-affected communities.
