Punjab Floods: Rahul Gandhi’s Amritsar Visit Highlights Govt’s Failure, Claims Congress
Rahul Gandhi visited flood-ravaged Amritsar on September 14, 2025, surveying the devastation caused by recent unprecedented rainfall. The scale of the disaster is immense, with nearly 2 lakh hectares of farmland submerged.
The floods have claimed 56 lives, leaving a trail of destruction across the region. Many families have lost their homes and livelihoods.
Punjab Congress has vehemently criticised both the state and central governments, terming the crisis a “man-made disaster” due to alleged negligence in flood management and infrastructure development. They have demanded immediate and substantial relief for the affected farmers and families.
The opposition’s accusations raise serious questions about the preparedness and response mechanisms in place to handle such natural calamities. The scale of the damage underscores the urgent need for comprehensive flood mitigation strategies and robust disaster relief systems across the nation. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the vulnerabilities of our agricultural sector to climate change and the importance of proactive government intervention.
