Chandigarh, August 27, 2019: Kalgidhar Trust, Gurdwara Baru Sahib, a non-profit organisation, has chalked out plans to help people in flood-affected areas of Punjab.
The trust has decided to send masons and electricians to the affected villages to carry out repair work once the flood waters recede.
On the relief and rescue efforts being carried out by the trust, Jagjit Singh Kaka Veerji and Gurmail Singh of the Kalgidhar Trust Board said not only staff and students of various Akal academies, which are run by the trust, have collected ration and sent it to the people living in flood-affected regions, but Sikhs who visit Baru Sahib gurdwara have arranged for feed for cattle and other essentials for flood-hit people.
They also informed that sewadars of the gurdwara have gone to flood-hit villages with boats to rescue stranded people.
It is worth mentioning that Kalgidhar Trust had sent masons to Kerala for repairing houses when the state was hit by floods in 2018.
The trust also organised a langar for the large number of people engaged in rescuing a child who had fallen in a borewell in Bhagwanpura village in Sangrur district this year.
