Aam Aadmi Party Rajya Sabha MP Ashok Mittal announced a relief for the families who lost members during recent floods in Punjab will receive permanent job opportunities at Lovely Professional University (LPU). This milestone decision was taken on September 5.
According to the officials, the initiative aims to provide long-term employment security to bereaved families following devastating floods that claimed 43 lives across Punjab. AAP MP Ashok Mittal also emphasized that the deceased individuals were not merely statistics but represented significant losses for their families and communities.

Moreover, the AAP MP also commended Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and his administration’s flood response, highlighting the establishment of 196 relief camps and successful rescue operations that saved over 20,000 people. The coordinated relief efforts demonstrated effective crisis management during the emergency period.
Implementation Strategy
The LPU team will conduct direct outreach to contact affected families individually. Families who have not been contacted are encouraged to come forward to ensure comprehensive coverage of the support program. The initiative focuses on providing sustainable employment rather than temporary financial assistance.
Further, the AAP MP stated that the 43 lives lost represent genuine disaster victims, emphasizing Punjab’s historical resilience during crises and the community’s responsibility to support affected residents.
Comprehensive Support Framework
The employment program extends beyond immediate financial relief, offering long-term career stability and local job opportunities. This approach addresses the economic challenges faced by families who lost primary breadwinners during the flooding.
Ashok Mittal positioned the initiative as demonstrating practical leadership through direct action rather than symbolic gestures. The program aims to provide concrete assistance to 43 families while showcasing the Aam Aadmi Party’s commitment to substantive relief measures.
The announcement represents a targeted response to flood aftermath challenges, combining immediate financial support through the relief fund contribution with sustainable long-term employment opportunities through institutional partnerships.
Affected families can expect personal contact from LPU representatives to facilitate the job placement process and ensure timely implementation of the support program.
