Sukhbir Badal Demands Immediate Flood Compensation for Punjab Farmers
The President of Shiromani Akali Dal, Sukhbir Singh Badal on Sunday raised his voice and demanded the state government to provide immediate compensation to the farmers who lost their crops in the recent floods.
Casting light on the need of immediate compensation, he mentioned that it is required as the farmers are prepared for the next sowing season. He also extended an urge to the AAP (Aam Aadmi Party) government to distribute certified seeds for the remaining two lakh acres of land and provide DAP fertilizer free of charge.
While addressing villagers in Phillaur, Sukhbir said if SAD is voted to power in 2027, they would lay concrete bundhs and embankments in flood-prone areas across Punjab. He criticized both the Congress and AAP for failing to maintain flood defenses, which had worsened the state’s flood problems.
