Chandigarh, July 29, 2024: MP Satnam Singh Sandhu on Monday raised the issue of the floods in Punjab in the Rajya Sabha.
Stating that the last year affected 21 districts of Punjab, Sandhu asked for the efficient management of Bhakra and Pong dams.
" Last year floods affected 21 districts of Punjab and caused damage worth Rs. 1600 Cr. There is a reason behind that. Our rivers have been encouraged and dams are not properly managed. I urged that efficient steps should be taken to avoid floods. Unlike last year, Bhakra and Pong dams should be efficiently managed," he said.
