Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on Tuesday called on Union Home minister Amit Shah, seeking a special package for the state in view of "massive" damage caused due to recent unprecedented floods.

In response, Shah assured the CM that the Narendra Modi government is committed to providing "all possible help" to the people of the state.

Mann met Shah at the latter's residence here in the evening and informed him about the vast destruction caused across the state during the monsoon floods.

The CM said that the relief of Rs 1600 crore announced by the Centre was "minuscule" in the wake of the grave loss suffered by the state. He also sought upward revision in norms for awarding compensation to the flood victims from the disaster response fund.
