Anjuman Islamia Committee of Nahan dispatches four vehicles carrying essential food, water, clothes, and blankets for Punjab flood victims
NEW DELHI — Punjab is reeling under the impact of severe floods caused by heavy rains in recent days. The disaster has claimed scores of lives so far, displaced thousands, and destroyed farms, barns, and household belongings, creating an acute crisis of food and drinking water.
In these testing times, the Anjuman Islamia Committee of Nahan, Himachal Pradesh, has taken a proactive step to assist flood victims, setting a notable example of compassion and solidarity. Late on Friday, committee members departed for Punjab with four vehicles laden with essential relief material.
Bobby Ahmed, President of the Anjuman Islamia Committee, described the situation as “very bad” and highlighted the urgent need for community support. “Many people have lost their homes, and some families have lost relatives in this disaster. The destruction of farms and means of employment has left the affected in great difficulty,” he said. “In such times, it is the duty of humanity that we all come together and help the victims. With this thought, our committee decided to send relief material immediately.”
The relief convoy included flour, pulses, rice, cooking oil, blankets, clothes, drinking water, and other essential items to meet the urgent needs of the affected families. “This is just the beginning. More help will be sent if needed,” Ahmed added.
He also appealed to the public for support. “The government is trying its best, but in such a disaster, government help alone is not enough. When society and organisations work together, only then can aid reach the victims quickly,” he said.
The Anjuman Islamia Committee plans to coordinate with local administration and social organisations in Punjab to ensure fair and timely distribution of relief material. Every effort is being exerted to reach as many affected families as possible, providing them with food and essential items in this time of crisis.
As communities across the country come to grips with the scale of destruction in Punjab, the committee’s action highlights the crucial role of civil society in disaster relief and serves as an inspiring example of humanitarian support beyond regional boundaries.
