Carrying out extensive relief efforts across the flood-affected regions, United Sikhs, a noted global non-profit organization, is aiming to rehabilitate affected lives with their comprehensive 3-phase relief program.

In the wake of the devastating floods that have left large parts of rural Punjab inundated, their on-the-ground volunteers have reached more than 500 villages with medical aid, and emergency relief items in the villages of Rupnagar, Anandpur Sahib, Kiratpur Sahib, Chamkaur Sahib, Machhiwara (Ludhiana), Patiala, Shahpur (Jalandhar), Mansa, and Sardulgarh. Their teams have also reached out to extend relief work in the inaccessible villages in Dera Baba Nanak.

In the ongoing first phase, they are providing immediate relief to the affected families across the breadth of the affected regions of Punjab.

During this phase, having carried out rescue operations, they are continuing to provide emergency relief supplies to affected families and their livestock. Their volunteers are reaching out to the affected families with urgent needs for food, water, clothing, tents, fodder, and other essential items. The dedicated teams are working tirelessly to ensure that basic necessities reach the affected individuals during this challenging time. Additionally, they are providing ambulance services, medical care and essential medicines to address the health needs of those impacted by the floods.

Once the initial rescue and relief efforts have been completed, their focus will shift toward rebuilding and rehabilitating the affected communities in the second phase of the relief efforts. They will work towards rebuilding homes that have been destroyed and providing assistance to those who have lost their farm animals. Additionally, they aim to offer urgent monetary aid for miscellaneous needs that arise during the recovery process, helping families get back on their feet. Medical camps will be held to continue to provide education, medicine, and check-ups.
