Punjab News– In a surprising omission, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s budget speech, which lasted for an hour and a half, did not mention Punjab even once. This has raised concerns among the state’s residents and leaders, especially in light of the recent devastating floods that have caused significant damage to crops and land.
Flood Impact Ignored
Punjab has been grappling with the aftermath of severe flooding, which has wreaked havoc on the agricultural sector and displaced numerous families. Despite the extensive damage and the urgent need for relief and support, the central government’s budget failed to address or acknowledge the plight of the flood-affected people in Punjab.
Lack of Financial Support
The absence of any mention of Punjab’s situation in the budget has left many feeling neglected and unheard. Farmers and local authorities had hoped for some financial assistance or a relief package to help mitigate the losses incurred due to the floods. However, the silence on this issue has only added to their distress.
Calls for Attention and Support
The people of Punjab, along with their representatives, are calling on the central government to recognize the severity of the situation and provide the necessary support to help the state recover from the devastating floods. They hope that their concerns will be addressed in future policy decisions and budgetary allocations.
