Amritsar, Sept 2, 2025 (Yes Punjab News)
Congress MP from Amritsar Lok Sabha Gurjeet Singh Aujla has written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi regarding the severe floods in Punjab. Describing the seriousness of the situation in the letter, Aujla said that Punjab, especially the Amritsar border area, is facing unprecedented devastation.
Continuous torrential rains and fast water from the mountainous areas have submerged the low-lying areas, leaving thousands of families homeless and destroying the standing crops of farmers. MP Aujla has expressed displeasure in the letter that his earlier appeals were ignored. He wrote – “I want to say with controlled anger and extreme disappointment that my appeals were ignored.
Punjab is in crisis and silence cannot be tolerated anymore.He urged the Prime Minister to personally visit Punjab and send a high-level team from the Center immediately, so that the real situation can be assessed.
Aujla said that the deployment of NDRF teams alone will not solve the problem, but there is an urgent need for a special relief package so that the affected families can get help and Punjab can move forward towards reconstruction.
In the letter, Aujla also wrote that the importance of Amritsar is not limited to being just a border city, but it is also an important center of food security and grain storage of the country. The devastation caused by the floods has caused huge losses to the farmers and this situation can affect the food supply of the entire country.
The MP also described this crisis as very important from the national security and strategic point of view. He said that the Amritsar border area has always stood at the forefront for the security of India. But today when Punjab is facing a huge disaster like floods, the silence of the Center is unacceptable.
“It is unacceptable that the border that protects India is left alone in this difficult time. Aujla demanded immediate presence and concrete steps from the Prime Minister.
