The cleanliness drive in 25 villages is much needed! Stagnant water after floods brings so many diseases. Hope they continue this regularly. 👍

Compensation for uncultivated land is a good step. Many farmers suffer losses even when crops aren't planted. Hope the girdawari is done fairly without corruption.

The damage to Baba Gurditta Ji Gurdwara is really sad. Our religious places need better infrastructure to withstand such natural calamities. Good that repair work has started.

While the efforts are commendable, I hope the government also focuses on long-term flood prevention measures. Punjab faces floods almost every year - need permanent solutions.

Road repairs and transport restoration should be top priority. Many villages get completely cut off during floods. Hope they complete this work quickly! 🚧
