Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Thursday said that the State Government will evolve a foolproof plan for eradicating water-logging from the State, especially the Malwa region.
The Chief Minister, who undertook a whirlwind tour of the water-logging affected villages of Sri Muktsar Sahib and Fazilka districts, said that he had asked the officers to prepare a foolproof plan for ensuring that the scourge of water-logging is eliminated in entire State at the earliest.
“The State Government will start work on this project at war footing so that the devastation caused by water logging is checked immediately,” said Mann adding that there is no dearth of funds for this noble cause as State Government is duty bound to ensure that the problem of water logging is solved at the earliest.
The Chief Minister assured the farmers that from next year, water logging will no longer bring misery in any part of the State as the State Government will ensure meticulous planning and flawless execution for it. “The State Government will ensure that this problem is mitigated at the earliest,” said Mann while asking the officers to take every remedial step for ensuring that no stone is left unturned for making Punjab water logging free state.
