Giving major relief to the flood-affected people of Fazilka district, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Tuesday ordered immediate release of Rs 32 crore against the compensation pending for the year 2020 due to floods in the district. The Chief Minister, taking the decision in a meeting with Fazilka MLAs — Narinder Pal Singh, Amandeep Singh and Jagdeep Kamboj, bemoaned that it is unfortunate that the flood fury had created whopping loss in the district in 2020 but except lip service, the then government had done nothing to give relief to the people. During the meeting, he said that the floods had caused major damage in Abohar, Arniwala, and Jalalabad blocks of the district. “Out of total Rs 32 crore, damage worth Rs 28 crore was done to the crops whereas the remaining Rs four crore loss was done to the other houses and other establishments,” he added.
