Punjab is a border state, the rulers often take action without any reason for their political and financial benefits, by starting a war with the neighboring country bordering Punjab. Due to which, Punjabis and the army suffer huge loss of life and property. The first thing is that one should not think about the destructive name and action like war. Because it causes great loss to humanity and causes huge loss to the country financially. If it is forced, then a law should be made to compensate the residents living in the border areas and the city where there is loss of life and property due to bombing, missiles, drones or bullets. Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar) suggests that the Punjab War Damages (Compensation and Rehabilitation) Act 2025 should be made. So that the victims and the families of the victims can get immediate compensation after the war. These views were expressed by S. Iman Singh Mann, Executive President of Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar), while demanding that all the members of Parliament collectively submit a bill and enact a law on this issue in 2025 to provide all-round assistance to the families affected and damaged by the war. He said that in this series, a non-soldier faces huge losses. Therefore, in the event of someone’s death, his family should get due compensation at all costs.
This compensation should be at least two and a half crores. In case of disability, 2 crores, for serious injuries such as amputation of any limb or for other treatment, 50 lakhs should be fixed by the government. 50 lakhs should be given as compensation for at least 10 lakhs of any kind of property, at least 25 lakhs should be provided for homelessness and rehabilitation. This compensation should be distributed within 90 days. This distribution board or committee should be constituted by the Central Home Ministry. Such affected or distressed families should have the right to appeal to the State Level Review Board and such families should get free legal aid from the government for their case. This compensation fund board should be established jointly by the Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of Home Affairs. Releasing this press statement, he appealed to all the members of Parliament to take up the responsibility of putting a bill in the Parliament and making it a law by holding joint discussions on this serious issue as a group or collectively so that in any case, a law should be brought into force immediately to provide compensation for the body or property damaged in terms of life, property, family and property during the war. If the members of Parliament take this humanitarian initiative, then the Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar) will be grateful to such sincere members.
