Chandigarh, October 26, 2025: When floods ravaged Punjab’s farmlands, the Mann government didn’t respond with words—it responded with work. Within days, the Chief Minister himself reached the ground, personally supervising relief operations across villages and listening to people’s grievances firsthand.
The outcome speaks for itself: ₹74 crore in compensation, 2 lakh quintals of wheat seed, and ₹20,000 per acre assistance reached farmers in record time. For the first time, compensation hit bank accounts within 30 days, cutting through decades of red tape.
The relief effort wasn’t limited to farmers alone. Special provisions were made for farm labourers, traders, and the poor, ensuring that every citizen affected by the floods felt the government’s support. From permission to sell deposited silt to waivers on loans and interest payments, every measure reflected both practicality and compassion.
Transparency was key—CM Mann shared real-time videos of relief operations and reviewed each step alongside officials. His hands-on approach has made the administration not just visible but also personally accountable to the people it serves.
By increasing SDRF compensation to ₹40,000, extending help for damaged homes and lost livestock, and ensuring uninterrupted procurement of crops, the Mann government has woven a safety net that reaches every household.
As Punjab rebuilds, one truth stands clear: governance works best when it walks with the people. CM Bhagwant Mann’s leadership during the floods has redefined how a government can turn adversity into assurance—and promises into proof.
