Water started receding in many places in Punjab and Haryana with no fresh spell of rainfall on Tuesday, as teams of the army and the NDRF continued to carry out rescue operations.
With heavy rains over past few days causing extensive damage including crops and property, the Punjab government estimated Rs 1,700 crore worth of damage caused by deluge in the state.
Speaking to reporters in Mohali, Chief Minister Amarinder Singh said: "The state administration is fully geared to meet any eventuality and will safeguard the lives of the people at all costs."
Asked about the damage caused in the state by the floods, the chief minister said: "It was estimated to be around Rs 1,700 crore."
