While talking to ANI, Sonu Sood said on Sunday, "I am going to Baghpur, Sultanpur Lodhi, Firozpur, Fazilka, Ajnala, and I will try to go around and find out the situation. I feel that in the coming time, since it is still raining in Punjab, many houses have been destroyed, the livelihood of the people has been ruined, so I will try to give all the help and take a list of their needs from the local administration."

As per the flood situation in the state, Sonu Sood predicted that Punjab will take "a few months" to get back to normal. He urged the people to come together for the relief efforts in Punjab.

"This is not a work of a week or ten days. It will take at least a few months to get Punjab back on its feet. I think everyone is coming forward. But still, we need many hands to join so that Punjab can be revived as soon as possible. For those whose houses have been destroyed, we will try together to build some houses. I will try to reach the most affected villages," said Sonu Sood.

Meanwhile, Punjab Minister Tarunpreet Singh Sond said on Saturday that 40 villages in the state were affected by floods and relief operations were underway with rescue teams, administration and volunteers on the ground.

As of Saturday, 46 people have lost their lives due to floods in Punjab, according to the officials. Punjab Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema said that nearly 2,000 villages and over four lakh people have been affected.

He said that 24 teams of the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and two teams of the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) are on the ground, supported by 144 boats and a state government helicopter.

He added that the Revenue Department has released Rs 71 crore for relief efforts.

The floods in Punjab have been devastating. My relatives in Firozpur lost everything. Glad to see celebrities like Sonu Sood actually visiting affected areas instead of just tweeting from Mumbai. Hope Avijot gets the treatment he needs.

While I appreciate Sonu Sood's efforts, we need to ask why infrastructure fails every monsoon. Temporary help is good but permanent solutions are needed. The government should focus on better flood management systems.
