The announcement was made by the BJP Punjab unit on X (formerly Twitter), which wrote, “Prime Minister Narendra Modi is coming to Gurdaspur, Punjab, on 9th September. He will meet directly with the flood-affected brothers-sisters and farmers to share their sorrow and take every possible step to help the victims.” The party also stressed that this visit reflects the Prime Minister’s commitment to Punjab, saying the central government will continue to extend full support to the state during this crisis.
This year’s monsoon has been unusually harsh, leaving a trail of destruction across several northern states. More than 1,900 villages across 23 districts have been flooded, making Punjab one of the worst hit, according to India Today reports. In Punjab, 43 people have died so far, and crops on almost 1.71 lakh hectares of land have been destroyed. Entire regions are still cut off by blocked highways and rivers that continue to flow above danger marks.

Monsoon Havoc Across North India
In Gurdaspur, the situation is especially bad; houses have been damaged, families have been uprooted, and farmland has been flooded. Prime Minister Modi is scheduled to meet local farmers and families and hear about their struggles. His visit will certainly reassure them of the government’s unwavering support. During his visit, he will also review ongoing rehabilitation and relief efforts.
The flooding isn’t confined to Punjab. Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand have also been battered by heavy rains, flash floods, and landslides. Since June, more than 500 people have died in rain-related incidents across these states, India Today reported
For the people of Punjab, this visit is not just about the Prime Minister touring flood-hit areas, it’s about being seen, heard, and supported at a time when they are facing one of the worst natural disasters in recent years. PM Modi’s arrival is expected to bring a morale boost to affected families, and also underline the Centre’s commitment to providing relief funds, rehabilitation aid, and long-term solutions to tackle recurring flood crises.
At a time when uncertainty looms large, the visit will likely serve as a reminder that the plight of Punjab’s farmers and families is being taken seriously at the highest level.
