Kalgidhar Trust Gurdwara Baru Sahib Himachal Pradesh, like every time, has taken the initiative to send Akal Sewa teams to deal with natural disasters since August 26. In the past few days, Davinder Singh, President of Kalgidhar Trust Baru Sahib, had assured that Kalgidhar Trust has taken this pledge that the money of the devotees is used properly, that we are fulfilling the basic needs of the flood victims and at the same time, he had informed that the fourth phase, in which those whose houses have been damaged, will be inspected and their new houses or damaged houses will be repaired. Under this, Jagjit Singh (Kaka Veer Ji), Vice President of Kalgidhar Trust Gurdwara Baru Sahib, prepared houses with new prefabricated materials for 7 houses in Sri Gurdaspur district. 4 houses have been prepared in Kahna village and 3 houses have been prepared in Hasanpur village. He informed that their houses had collapsed due to flood waters and heavy rains. These families were provided with 24-hour preparation of each house, in which everything from kitchen ration to household amenities (beds, mattresses, fans, kitchen ration for a few days, etc.) was provided. These houses were inaugurated by Shri Dalwinderjit Singh (Deputy Commissioner, Gurdaspur); Shri Jaspinder Singh (SDM, Dinanagar). They appreciated this unique pre-fabricated material house built by the trust. On this occasion, former Sarpanch Kartar Singh village Sadda, Ravinder Singh (Gu: Tahli Sahib, Gahlari Sahib), Harjit Singh (Manager Tahli Sahib), Harpreet Singh Granthi (Gu: Faridpur), Sarpanch Kulwinder Singh village Chitti, Sarpanch Ranjit Singh village Jeevan Chak, Dr. Harvinderpal Singh (Jainpur), Kuldeep Singh (Jafalpur), Gurjinder Singh (Ganji), Sarpanch Nishan Singh village Khushipur, Sarpanch Vasudev village Thakarpur, Sarpanch Gurdeep Singh village Bains, Sarpanch Babbu Singh village Talwandi, Sarpanch Babba village Sadda, Sarpanch Sabi village Saddepur, Sarpanch Mintu Singh village Dorangla, Sarpanch Baldev Singh village Kathgarh and the trust’s servants and village dignitaries, especially Bhai Harmeet Singh from Delhi, Bhai Jaspreet Singh along with Akhand Kirtani Jatha Delhi Chief Bhai Arvinder Singh Raja were also present. He further informed that by preparing about 100 such new houses with pre-fabricated material (construction will be from 400 to 900 square feet) we will build them for the needy with the support of the Sangat. He appealed and said that the support of the Sangat is more and more needed for such works. It is the duty of every citizen of the country to donate a part of his tithe to help them so that those whose houses have been damaged can be repaired or new ones should be built, we all should definitely take this initiative, he informed and said that today the construction of another house has started in Gurdaspur district. It is worth mentioning here that for a common man, it can take 10 years to get out of the financial situation after being hit by floods like this, getting a house in these conditions is like a dream. Giving further information, he said that so far more than 5500 people from about 153 villages have been rescued and taken to a safe place. Sri Sehaj Path Sahib is being continuously conducted for the welfare of everyone at Gurdwara Baru Sahib, Himachal Pradesh, where prayers are offered for the prosperity of Punjab. It is worth mentioning here that whenever natural disasters strike the country, the trust’s Akal Sewa team stands ready to serve the flood victims fearlessly.
