New Delhi, September 30, 2025 – Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on Tuesday said Union Home Minister Amit Shah has assured him of substantial central assistance to tackle the flood devastation in the state.
The assurance came during a 25-minute meeting in Delhi, where Mann presented a detailed report on the scale of destruction caused by floods in Punjab.
