For the past few days, there was no major rainfall in the region and the water level in flooded villages was reducing, officials said.
State Health and Family Welfare Minister Balbir Singh Sidhu said district and block level health teams have been visiting flood-affected villages through boats to provide healthcare facilities to the patients.

Additional Chief Secretary (Development) Vishavjeet Khanna said the state would provide free high quality wheat seeds to the farmers in the Rabi season.

Khanna said the department has also made requisite attachments for ensuring fodder for the cattle.
