Amritsar, Punjab – In response to the recent flooding that left numerous homes damaged, the district administration disbursed a total of ₹28 lakh to 80 affected families. The funds are earmarked specifically for repairing and strengthening the structures that were compromised during the deluge.
Each household received an average assistance of ₹35,000, a sum intended to cover essential repairs such as roof replacement, wall reinforcement, and basic sanitation upgrades.

The distribution was carried out under a government relief scheme aimed at mitigating the impact of natural calamities on vulnerable residents. Authorities have urged beneficiaries to submit detailed repair plans to ensure the money is utilized effectively and to prevent misuse.

Local community leaders welcomed the financial aid, emphasizing that timely assistance is crucial for families to return to normalcy and to rebuild their livelihoods after the disaster.
