Punjab Cabinet Minister Aman Arora on Monday (September 8, 2025) appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to announce a relief package of at least ₹20,000 crore for the flood-ravaged State during his visit.
The Prime Minister will visit Punjab on September 9 to take stock of the flood situation.
"Even though the PM has not uttered a word yet for the flood-hit Punjab, he is our PM and I welcome him with folded hands for his visit.I also expect that he should be seen standing by Punjab during his visit," Mr. Arora told reporters in Chandigarh.
Referring to Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann's recent letter to the Prime Minister demanding ₹60,000 crore of the State's funds, Arora said it is Punjab's right and it should be released.
