MLA Kulwant Singh today flagged off two vehicles carrying relief material from the District Administrative Complex, Mohali, to the flood-affected border districts. The relief consignment included dry ration kits, drinking water, tarpaulins, medicines, and cattle feed.
He said that the people of the border areas are facing extremely tough times, having lost almost everything to floods. Stressing the importance of extending a helping hand, he remarked that Mohali district stands committed to supporting both the people and their milch cattle in this hour of need.
Commending the District Administration and District Red Cross Society for contributing 300 dry ration kits, as well as organizations like the Rotary Club and Mohali Industries Association for providing additional relief material, the MLA added that Verka Milk Plant, Mohali, had also dispatched 700 dry ration kits yesterday.
He said that although nothing can be done against the fury of nature, collective efforts can help affected families gradually resume their normal lives. Appreciating Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann for personally visiting the flood-hit areas and standing with the people, he called upon everyone to come forward in these testing times to serve humanity.
On this occasion, MLA Kulwant Singh was accompanied by Deputy Commissioner Komal Mittal, Chairman Punjab Water Supply and Sewerage Board Dr. Sunny Singh Ahluwalia, Chairperson District Planning Committee Prabhjot Kaur, ADC (G) Geetika Singh, SDM Damandeep Kaur, Chairman Market Committee Mohali Govind Mittal, Secretary Red Cross Harbans Singh, and AAP leaders Tarlochan Singh Mataur and Jagsir Singh.
