The Punjab Cabinet meeting scheduled for 4 pm on Friday has been cancelled. No official reason has been given, but it is learnt that Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann is unwell with a high fever.
Due to his illness, CM Mann could not join AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal during his visit to flood-affected areas on Thursday.
The meeting was called to review relief and rescue operations in the state, which has seen 43 deaths and nearly 15 per cent of its area hit by floods.
Earlier this week, Punjab had declared itself a disaster-affected state.
