CM Mann said that now the water level has come down in many places. A cleanliness drive will be carried out in about 2300 villages and wards. For this, the government will arrange JCB and labor in every village.
Tanj on open debate Mann said that he had given an open debate challenge to all the leaders on the issues of Punjab. On this, Union Minister of State Ravneet Singh Bittu has accepted the challenge.
But CM Mann taunted and said- “Now what should I debate with Bittu. There is no listening to him. When I asked to build a railway bridge in the Dhuri, he himself accepted that it is not a matter of his bus. Yes, I can get a cold drink machine installed.” Maan further said that the BJP also knows, which could not be of its party, it will not be of them either.
Government keeps 100 crore rupees for cleaning campaign Many animals have also come in the flood. Arrangements have been made to settle dead animals. Fogging will be done in all villages. In this campaign, the government has put a fund of Rs 100 crore. First, all villages will be given 1 lakh rupees token money. After this, the more you need, the more money will be given.
All this work will be dealt with by 24 September. We do not have much time. The next crop is sowing time. The damage to Dharamshala etc. in many villages and panchayats will be corrected by October 15.
Mann said that by October 22, the thatch etc. will be cleaned. The government will set up camps in all 2300 villages by not spread any disease. Mohalla Clinic is already running in 506 villages. Medical staff and doctors will be present in government schools all the time.

After two days, 550 ambulances will be ready at all times Mann said that after two days the government will be ready 550 ambulances. So far, about one and a half million animals in 713 villages are affected by the floods. A campaign is being started to protect them from diseases. Veterinary doctors will be posted in each village. The last date of animal cleaning will be 30 September.
Purchase will start in mandis from 16 September Mann said that the situation in the mandis is absolutely fine. Paddy will be sold as soon as it arrives. Government procurement will start from 16 September. Till now, private 3 thousand quintals of paddy are buying. The mandis which have been in the grip of floods will be repaired and prepared for normal purchase by 19 September. The government will issue data for daily purchase.
I am sure that we will get out of this crisis very soon and reach the common people again. We will become stronger than before.
Regarding the Governor, Mann said that there are some states where the governors create controversy on some issue. Keeping in mind the interest of the people, the Governor should talk in the interest of the state ahead of the Center. Mann said that some people are such that they are propagating wrongly on social media. I was admitted to the hospital for two days, while 3 to 4 Chief Ministers with some media channels started talking about making in the new Punjab.
Foundation is out of party Arvind Kejriwal stood in Sri Darbar Sahib and said that Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant will be considered. Nevertheless, some scholars spread such talks to take views on channels, spreading rumors. Mann said that our party is a party emanating from the struggle. There is no group in our party. People are members of our group. Some people came to the party to facilitate but he got out in time.
Not begging, I am asking for the rights of Punjab Mann said that I am not begging the central government. I am asking for the rights of Punjab. I do not ask for a special fund. Give our GST fund. Give our RDF fund. The act has also passed in the Legislative Assembly, yet our right is stopped.
Mann said that our treasure is not empty at all. We have given electricity free to people. The SSF team is formed. Water is reaching the farmers’ fields. The government does not kill the rights of any poor. All is equal for us. The central government wants Bhagwant Mann to be harassed, but the public is now understanding everything.
Bhagwant Mann cannot be harassed by not giving money. Mann said that we do not need to issue its notifications whose sand has been passed in the Legislative Assembly.
Punjab is the most essential school and Mohalla Clinic that is being run properly. Punjab is always standing with the country, but now the country should also stand with Punjab.

BJP state president targeted At the same time, BJP state head Sunil Jakhar has posted a post on social media platform X regarding CM Mann’s debate challenge. In which he said- This is the CAG report which is clearly recorded that Punjab had Rs 9041.74 crore of SDRF (State Disaster Response Fund) by 31 March 2023. According to the report, violating the rules of the central government, the state government did not invest the amount properly.
Even after this, funds of the financial years 2023-24, 2024-25 and 2025-26 have come, including a total amount of Rs 12,000 crore. Chief Minister, your Chief Secretary also accepted this in your presence during a press conference. Apart from this, your ministers have also accepted this. Now it would be better that you apologize for misleading the people of Punjab and provide relief to the people of the state by using this amount correctly.
