NEW DELHI – Punjab is currently facing severe flooding that has disrupted daily life across multiple districts, leaving families stranded and communities struggling to recover. Amid this crisis, Jamaat-e-Islami Hind has taken proactive steps to provide relief to the affected population.
A delegation led by the organisation’s National Secretary, Maulana Shafi Madni, along with senior officials, recently visited flood-affected areas to assess the extent of the damage and offer immediate assistance. The team toured districts including Kapurthala and Pathankot, inspecting villages such as Sultanpur Lodhi, Sangra, Bawpur Jadeed, and in Jalandhar’s Koliya Tehsil, Sundar Chak, Bahadurpur, and Sindhpur.
In Koliya village alone, the floods have tragically claimed the lives of four residents, including three siblings and a 75-year-old woman. Around 30 homes have been destroyed, reflecting the severity of the situation.

We stand in solidarity with the victims and express our deep sympathy for their loss. Every possible effort will be made to assist them in this time of crisis.”
