Punjab floods: CM, ministers and AAP MLAs to donate one month’s salary

NEW DELHI: The Punjab government has announced that chief minister Bhagwant Mann, his cabinet colleagues and all Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLAs will donate one month’s salary to support relief measures for those affected by the floods in the state.In Hoshiarpur district’s Abdullahpur village, AAP MLA Jasvir Singh Raja Gill drew attention after relocating the Guru Granth Sahib Ji from a gurdwara to a safer location as the Beas river overflowed. Before carrying the scripture out, Gill performed an Ardas along with the Sangat. Visuals of the incident quickly went viral, sparking strong emotional reactions on social media. Many viewers described the act as a reminder that religious sanctity remains a priority even amid natural disasters. Meanwhile, the state government has intensified rescue and relief operations, with ministers and officials regularly visiting flood-hit areas to oversee aid distribution. With farms inundated and homes damaged, local representatives have sought to show that disaster response can extend beyond immediate rescue to also safeguarding religious and cultural values. The incident in Abdullahpur has resonated with sections of the Sikh community, where many see it as an example of how faith and governance can intersect during crises.
