Sangrur: Relief Work conducted in 44 villages, langar Provided 24 Hours
In July, dozens of villages in Moonak and Khanauri areas were flooded with more than 8 feet of water due to the rising water level in the Ghaggar River passing through Sangrur district. The kind of service spirit shown by the devotees of Dera Sacha Sauda during this period was unmatched in itself. Dera devotees in Moonak arranged 24-hour langar (food) for the flood victims, where anyone could come and eat langar free of cost.
On the other hand, in the areas trapped in deep water, the Dera volunteers reached the people sitting on the roofs of the houses & delivered langar. The devotees from Sunam, Laharagaga, Dharamgarh, Gobindgarh, Jejiyan and Moonak participated in the relief work conducted day & night. The relief work was carried out by the Dera devotees in about 44 villages where on an average 3 thousand rotis (chpatis) were consumed every day, while one quintal of pulses and 50 kg of rice were cooked every day.
Apart from this, thousands of bottles of bottled water for drinking purposes were distributed daily in the affected areas. Not only this, 4 trolleys of green fodder were delivered daily to the animals in the affected areas. 1000 volunteers of Shah Satnam Ji Green S Welfare Force Wing were engaged in this relief work every day. Along with saving the lives of the people, the volunteers took out valuables from their submerged houses and transported them to safer places.
This relief work went on in villages like Papda, Kaliyan, Chandpura, Kulriya, Moonak, Kadail etc. In Papda village, the house of Satnam Singh, son of Laxman Singh Nagar Fauji, was situated at a distance from the village, which was completely surrounded by water. The roads were closed, so dozens of volunteers took out their four trunks, three beds, a cupboard, fridge, gold and cash and other important items from there.
Patiala: Necessary Goods Delivered to People Surrounded by Water
The spiritual followers of block Patiala carried out relief work in the villages of Devigarh, Samana etc. areas. Whereas the volunteers of Shah Satnam Ji Green S Welfare Force Wing of Patran, Badshahpur and Ghagga villages of Shutrana Assembly Constituency carried out relief work as well as delivered relief materials to the affected people.
85 Member Harminder Singh said that the warriors distributed many trolleys of green fodder, langar, water, milk, biscuits, medicines and other household essentials daily to the flood affected people in the villages of Haripur, Sasikhoh, Sasi Brahmana, Dharamhedi, Navagaon, Sasa etc. of  block Patiala. This relief work continued for a week. Apart from this, the volunteers reached dozens of villages of Shutrana Assembly Constituency and distributed relief material. Due to the breach in Ghaggar, dozens of villages in this area were flooded. Despite the difficult conditions, the volunteers reached these villages and provided food and ration, tarpaulin and medicines to the affected people.
The volunteers also saved the lives of the animals in these villages by somehow taking them to safer places. Impressed by this service spirit of the Dera warriors, the district administration presented a Letter of Appreciation in the name of Shah Satnam Ji Green S Welfare Force Wing.
