Chandigarh, Sep 6 (UNI) With Punjab reeling under one of its most devastating floods in recent years, affecting nearly 1,900 villages and submerging near 4 lakh hectares of fertile land, the Cooperation Department along with Milkfed Punjab (Verka) and its affiliated Milk Unions, has launched an unprecedented relief and recovery operation to support both people and livestock.

Under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann, Milkfed Punjab has activated a comprehensive two-fold strategy, sustaining dairy farmers and livestock, while simultaneously ensuring the supply of milk and food essentials to the affected population.
Speaking on the initiative, Financial Commissioner Cooperation Sumer Gurjar said, ''This is not just relief—it is a reaffirmation of Verka’s bond with Punjab’s people. Our teams are on the ground to protect farmers’ livelihoods, safeguard animals, and ensure that no family is left without nourishment.”
