Ludhiana, November 17, 2025: BJP Punjab State Spokesperson Pritpal Singh Baliawal has written a formal letter to Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann, drawing attention to the severe negligence faced by flood-hit farmers of Sahnewal, who have still not received their promised compensation.
Baliawal highlighted that villages such as Sasarali, Boothgarh Banjara, and Sasarali Colony suffered massive destruction during the recent floods caused by the overflowing Sutlej River. Farmers lost not only their standing crops but also large stretches of agricultural land that were washed away.
In his letter, Baliawal reminded the Chief Minister of his 12 September announcement assuring that all flood-affected families would receive compensation before Diwali. However, even after more than a month has passed since Diwali, the majority of the victims continue to wait.
Baliawal stated that 77 farmer families in Sahnewal have not received a single rupee of compensation so far. He criticised the Aam Aadmi Party government for turning the compensation drive into a “photo-op exercise,” while genuine victims continue to face hardship and uncertainty.
“The government made loud announcements, but on the ground, the farmers have received nothing. Their tragedy has been met with false promises and no real relief,” Baliawal said.
He appealed to the Chief Minister to intervene immediately and ensure that compensation is credited to the bank accounts of all pending beneficiaries without further delay.
Baliawal has also submitted the complete list of 77 affected farmer families along with his letter to the Chief Minister for urgent action.
“The suffering of these farmers is real and deep. They deserve justice, not delays,” Baliawal added.
