The Punjab Government has ordered a special girdawari (assessment) in Fazilka district to evaluate the damage caused to crops and houses due to the recent heavy rainfall. This was shared by Deputy Commissioner Amarpreet Kaur Sandhu, who informed that directions have been issued to all Sub-Divisional Magistrates (SDMs) to ensure that the assessment work is completed as early as possible. 

She said that during this special girdawari, a detailed report will be prepared regarding the loss of crops and damage to residential structures. 

The DC emphasized that all concerned departments have been instructed to carry out the special girdawari in a fully transparent manner, ensuring that no eligible affected individual is left out from the documentation of losses. 

She further added that the assessment work will be carried out in a time-bound manner so that the final report can be submitted to the state government without delay. 

Providing an update on the ground situation, the Deputy Commissioner said that water has been drained from most of the affected areas, and in the remaining locations, teams of officials are continuously working using pumps and other methods to remove the stagnant water.
