Bhoma Pradhan, President of Social Reform Organization Punjab Ranjit Singh Bhoma along with his colleagues met the flood victims—hundreds of families from Dera Baba Nanak, Ramdas, Ajnala, Kalanor—in different camps from the villages, surrounded by five feet of water and whose houses have been without electricity for a week. The inverters are also completely off. People are living in darkness.
All their belongings—beds, cupboards, motorcycles, cars, tractor-trolleys, bicycles, electric inverters, motors, electrical appliances, refrigerators, washing machines, quilts, frying pans, clothes, dry fodder for cattle, green fodder and all the crops and houses of 1000 acres of land—have been destroyed. The entire family is spending a very painful time in the rooms, in the darkness, without electricity, in the scorching heat and in five feet of water due to large numbers of mosquitoes and flies.
Mosquito nets (1000) and large tarpaulins (about 1000 waterproof) and medicines, mosquito kits etc. were distributed to hundreds of different families.
Ranjit Singh Bhoma appealed to the devotees that all the crops and houses of 1000 acres of land in Dera Baba Nanak, Ramdas, Ajnala, which were built at lakhs of rupees, have rotted due to the inundation of water and property worth crores of rupees has been destroyed. Dry ration has been accumulated in the villages on a large scale.
Donor devotees were appealed to stop the assistance to the flood victims for a short time. Bhoma said that lists of the damage caused in the villages are being prepared along with the teams of the Social Reform Organization Punjab in the flood-affected villages.
Those affected families are in great need of providing service by bringing cement, gravel, sand, seeds, medicines, food, electric motors, all furniture items etc. in the coming time.
The donor devotees will be given the bank account lists of those affected families so that the service can be provided at the right place, illegal looting cannot take place and the affected families can get relief.
