Sonu Sood, who has been actively engaged in supporting relief efforts for the state, spoke to ANI and shared his thoughts.

"I would like to thank our honourable Prime Minister for his visit to Punjab. I would request all the political parties to prepare a red carpet for his arrival.

PM Modi will review the rescue and relief work and meet with the families of people affected by the floods.

"With Punjab, Forever. We were on the ground. We saw the loss, the heartbreak -- and the strength that refused to fade. Villages under water, lives uprooted, but hope still standing. Whatever Punjab needs, we are here. To help. To rebuild. To heal -- together. With Punjab. Forever."

Punjab is facing one of its worst floods in recent years, triggered by swollen rivers and heavy rainfall. Several villages were submerged, leaving thousands of people struggling for essential supplies.

The death toll in the state has risen to 48, and three others remain missing, officials said on Monday.

While I appreciate the PM's visit, I hope this isn't just symbolic. Punjab needs long-term flood management solutions, not just temporary relief. The infrastructure needs to be strengthened to prevent such disasters in future.

🫨 48 lives lost is heartbreaking. My relatives in Punjab say the situation is worse than what's being shown on TV. Hope the government provides adequate compensation to affected families and helps rebuild their lives.
