Punjab Additional Chief Secretary Anurag Verma said on Sunday that owing to floods in the state nearly three lakh acres and around 1.25 lakh people have been impacted.

After reviewing flood relief operations in Ferozepur and Fazilka districts, Verma, who is also the Financial Commissioner (Revenue), directed officials to ensure uninterrupted relief measures for the affected families.

He inspected villages along the Sutlej river in Ferozepur and held discussions with flood-hit villagers. He said that the state government has already announced special 'girdawari’ (inspection) to provide compensation for the affected crops.
