The Onlookers were Astonished When the Volunteers Plugged the 20 Feet Deep Erosion in the Ghaggar
Those who want to reach their destination, they have courage like a lion, they not only swim in the sea but also build bridges of stone. Yes, the brave hearts of Shah Satnam Ji Green S Welfare Force Wing, formed for the purpose of serving humanity, have the same spirit to do something similar. Due to heavy rains in the mountains that day, the River Ghaggar was overflowing and breaking the embankments near village Chamal in district Sirsa. Dozens of villages were on the verge of drowning.
Suddenly the embankment cracked near village Chamal and in no time there was a 70 feet long erosion. On the request of the Gram Panchayats, the volunteers of Shah Satnam Ji Green S Welfare Force Wing took the charge, following the pious inspiration of their Perfect Spiritual Guide Revered Saint Dr. MSG. Hundreds of volunteers reached Ratakheda siphon near the old Chamal village and here the volunteers risked their life in the service work of building a 70 feet long temporary dam in front of the siphon. However, the task was not so easy due to the high depth and continuous rain fall.
But the spirits of the volunteers did not diminish and the volunteers continued to build the dam without getting tired, without stopping and without the slightest fear even in the rain. In the 70 feet long dam, 50 feet dam was easily bridged by the volunteers and the villagers. But the next 20 feet dam was difficult to build, because the depth of the water in 20 feet dam was 20 to 25 feet and the volunteers could not directly enter it. But the volunteers still did not give up and with the help of a crane, first pulled a safety wall with the support of bamboos at a deep place and thereafter put a wooden net in it, so that the flow of water could be diverted to the other side. Later, the volunteers made a human chain and started pouring bags filled with sand together there.
Officers, villagers and State Electricity and Jail Minister Chowdhary Ranjit Singh as well as NDRF personnel present there were taken aback by the extra ordinary courage of the volunteers. Next morning, first of all, the volunteers of Shah Satnam Ji Green S Welfare Force Wing along with the NDRF soldiers made a strategy to build the dam. After this, a thick rope was put in the middle of the entire dam. With the help of the rope the volunteers landed at the place where the dam was being built. On the other hand, the volunteers along with the villagers filled thousands of earthen bags and later, together, the volunteers formed a human chain and started building a dam with the filled bags and finally bridged the dam again. The villagers said that if the temporary dam of the Rattakheda Kharif Channel had not been built, it could have brought havoc in many villages.
The volunteers of Shah Satnam Ji Green S Welfare Force Wing carried out service work by forming different teams in villages such as Musahib Wala, Burjakarmgarh, Panihari, Saharni and Farwai Kala in Sirsa district. The volunteers strengthened the dams around Panihari, Burjakarmgarh and other villages by placing bags filled with sand on the dams. Whereas in Musahib Wala, where the farm houses were surrounded by water the volunteers transported the belongings of the people to a safer place while risking their own life.
The special thing to mention is that the volunteers of Shah Satnam Ji Green S Welfare Force Wing, who were engaged in helping the flood affected people, reached the flood affected area by their own vehicles. Not only this, the volunteers also brought their own food and water along with all the food items and tools for flood relief work.
Along with this, the volunteers also provided eatable items, packaged food, essential medicines and other essential items to the people of the flood affected area. During this relief work, the spirit of the volunteers of Shah Satnam Ji Green S Welfare Force Wing was worth seeing and people praised the service spirit of the volunteers with open heart. Because the volunteers did not care about their own lives and while making a human chain in 8-10 feet of water, they transported each and every valuable belonging to safer places.
Jeet Bajaj Insan, a member of 85 Member Committee said that to help the flood victims food was prepared for the flood victims in the morning and evening at MSG Dera Sacha Sauda and Manavta Bhalai Kendra Shah Mastana Ji Dham. The packets of the prepared food were sent in the morning and evening for more than 200 people. Wherever there is a need for food and medicines in the flood-affected areas, their teams reached there and distributed the above items. Food was also sent for the villagers and volunteers engaged in flood relief work.
