Chairing a high-level review meeting, he directed urgent desilting of drains and vulnerable points, fast-tracked anti-pollution measures, and pushed pending infrastructure projects as the state moves to prevent floods and strengthen water management before the rains arrive. CM Mann, accompanied by Rajya Sabha MP Sant Balbir Singh Seechewal, batted for foolproof planning and execution of the master plan for carrying out flood protection works effectively across the state.

He said, "The plan of drains and rivers should be prepared in sync with the engineers of the irrigation department to ensure their regular de-silting, cleaning, and strengthening of flood protection works." He emphasised, "This will be instrumental in saving people from the wrath of floods during the monsoon season, and every officer will be personally accountable for this work. The desilting of Gidderpindi Railway Bridge and other places prone to floods should be done at the earliest to avert any flood-like situation." On the cleaning of Buddha Nullah, the Punjab CM added, "The water of the sacred Buddha Nullah has been cleaned up to the starting point of Ludhiana city, and cleaning work beyond this point is ongoing. Cow dung waste from dairies into Buddha Nullah should be checked with a heavy hand. The Municipal Corporation must ensure proper lifting of cow dung from the dairies, and dairy owners should cooperate."
