ਸੂਬੇ ਦੇ ਹੜ੍ਹ ਪ੍ਰਭਾਵਿਤ ਪਿੰਡਾਂ ਦੇ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨਾਲ ਪ੍ਰਸ਼ਾਸਨ ਦਾ ਸਿੱਧਾ ਰਾਬਤਾ ਹੋ ਸਕੇ, ਇਸਨੂੰ ਲੈਕੇ ਅਸੀਂ ਹਰੇਕ ਪਿੰਡ ਲਈ ਇੱਕ-ਇੱਕ ਗਜ਼ਟਿਡ ਅਫ਼ਸਰ ਦੀ ਤਾਇਨਾਤੀ ਕਰ ਰਹੇ ਹਾਂ, ਤਾਂ ਜੋ ਕੁਦਰਤੀ ਮਾਰ ਨਾਲ ਪ੍ਰਭਾਵਿਤ ਲੋਕ ਆਪਣੀ ਹਰ ਤਰ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੀ ਸਮੱਸਿਆ ਉਹਨਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਦੱਸ ਸਕਣ ਤੇ ਉਹਨਾਂ ਦਾ ਜਲਦ ਅਤੇ ਢੁੱਕਵਾਂ ਹੱਲ ਹੋ ਸਕੇ।

"To ensure direct communication between the administration and the people of the flood-affected villages of the state, we are appointing one gazetted officer for each village, so that those affected by the natural disaster can share all their problems with them, and prompt and appropriate solutions can be provided," the post read.
Heavy floods in Punjab have killed 37 people, as per the state government. Apart from that, a total of around 1,655 villages have been affected, with Gurdaspur being the most affected area, as 324 villages have been impacted by flooding, followed by Ferozpur (111), Amritsar (190), Hoshiarpur (121), Kapurthala (123) and Sangrur (107). As per the government, around 1,75,216 hectares of total cropland have been affected.
Earlier in the day, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) President Saurabh Bharadwaj brought relief materials to the flood-affected Ajnala village, located in Amritsar.
While bringing relief materials, Bharadwaj said that its team is working hard and claimed that even common people are contributing by extending help.
"The team here is working very hard. Punjab AAP volunteers are working day and night. Whatever is possible is being done...I think even the common people are extending help. This is important because Punjab, Punjabis, and Sikhs have reached out and helped first in places anywhere in the world whenever it was needed," said Bhardwaj.
Earlier, Punjab Education Minister Harbhajan Singh also visited Ajnala and provided relief materials. (ANI)
