The numbers are heartbreaking - 1,655 villages affected! While celebrities helping is great, the government needs to step up infrastructure planning. This happens every monsoon season in Punjab. We need permanent solutions.

The agricultural damage is devastating for Punjab's economy. 1.75 lakh hectares affected means thousands of farmers have lost their livelihood. Hope the relief reaches everyone who needs it.

Heartbreaking to see my home state suffering like this. But also heartwarming to see people coming together. If anyone wants to contribute, Global Sikhs is a reputable organization doing good work.
