Overview

• The House unanimously passed a resolution criticizing the BJP-led Union government’s lack of response and seeking a comprehensive special package for rehabilitation, infrastructure and livelihoods.
• Lawmakers recorded that the ₹1,600 crore announced by the Prime Minister has not reached the state treasury, and copies of the resolution were sent to the PM, the Home Minister and the Finance Ministry.
• Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann outlined compensation of ₹20,000 per acre for 75–100% crop loss, ₹10,000 per acre for lower damage bands, and ₹1.20 lakh for fully damaged houses, plus ₹7,200 per acre for sand removal and ₹47,500 per hectare for eroded land.
• A special girdawari to assess losses is underway, with completion targeted by October 15 and disbursal of relief pledged to begin before Diwali.
• The resolution describes the deluge as the worst since 1988, citing losses to over 20 lakh people and crop damage on nearly five lakh acres, as two BJP MLAs were absent when the measure passed.
