Chandigarh, August 30
In a gesture of solidarity with Punjab’s flood victims, employees of the Excise and Taxation Department have unanimously pledged to donate one day’s salary to the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund. This voluntary contribution aims to support financial aid, relief, and rehabilitation efforts for those affected by the recent floods across the state.
An official spokesperson from the Excise and Taxation Department announced that employees at all levels made this decision, demonstrating their collective commitment to assisting flood-affected communities. The funds will be directly transferred to the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund, which is being utilized to provide immediate relief, including shelter, food, and medical assistance to impacted families.
The spokesperson added, “Our colleagues felt a deep sense of responsibility to support our fellow citizens during this crisis. This contribution is a modest but sincere effort to bolster the government’s relief initiatives and to show the people of Punjab that we stand united with them.”
