It is my responsibility to support each, and everyone. During such disasters any state takes a lot of time to rise again but going by the courageous spirit of Punjab, it will rise very soon and our family like many others are here to ensure Punjab returns to normalcy very soon”, said Sonu.He said during the visit to flood affected areas we have felt that aid is not reaching many very needy persons who have no access to outer world and various NGOs too are facing hardship in reaching them. Malvika and her team have prepared plans to reach them and provide aid.Sonu and Malvika said that when we visit any village our team first go to that village, compile the names of those badly impacted by floods and we reach them and provide aid.

This will continue till we reach all those to whom we could provide some aid.He also said that actual problems will start coming to fore after some time when water recedes and we will provide aid at that time as per the needs of people as then people may suffer from various ailments, may need money to repair their damaged homes, to purchase livestock.He also demanded from the state government to waive the loans of farmers whose crops have been damaged.
