Governor Banwarilal Purohit today visited flood-affected villages in Shutrana and Samana. Inspecting rehabilitation work, he told villagers that he had written to the Union Government and soon a Central team would visit the state.

Members of some farm unions also met the Governor and demanded a special package as their crops had been damaged.

The Governor said he himself was a farmer’s son and understood the pain of the farming community. “I have written a letter to the Union Government and very soon a delegation will visit Punjab and assess the losses,” he told the farmers.
