The Punjab government has pledged financial support for residents affected by recent floods and heavy rainfall, as announced in a recent Punjab Assembly session. The state is mobilizing resources to provide relief to communities grappling with the aftermath of severe monsoon-related damages in 2025.
The compensation plan targets losses to homes, crops, and livestock across multiple districts, including Rawalpindi, Chakwal, and Jhelum, where flooding has caused significant disruption. The government has prioritized swift disbursement of funds through the State Disaster Relief Fund to address immediate needs, such as repairing damaged infrastructure and supporting affected families. District administrations are actively assessing losses to ensure fair and timely aid distribution.
In response to the crisis, emergency measures have been implemented, including rescue operations that have saved over 100 people in flood-hit areas. The Punjab Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) is coordinating efforts, with hospitals on standby and control rooms operating round-the-clock to manage the situation. The government has also urged residents to avoid flood-prone areas to minimize risks.
This initiative reflects the state’s commitment to supporting its citizens during natural calamities, with ongoing assessments to determine the full extent of the damage. The Punjab government’s proactive approach aims to provide tangible relief to those impacted by the 2025 monsoon season.
