The relief will cover 92,695 acres across 111 villages in seven districts. Hardeep Singh Mundian, the state's revenue, rehabilitation, and disaster management minister, detailed that the damage included 992 acres with 26% to 32% loss, 61,115 acres with 33% to 75% loss, and 30,588 acres with total loss. The districts most affected include Fazilka, which received the highest allocation of ₹44.24 crore, followed by Muktsar Sahib at ₹43 crore, and Bathinda at ₹22.83 crore. The compensation is designed to be fair and transparent, calculated based on the severity of crop loss. The revenue department has directed deputy commissioners to expedite the necessary processes to ensure that the funds reach the beneficiaries without delay.
