Giani Harpreet Singh visits Gatti Harike, lauds relief efforts

Giani Harpreet Singh, president of the breakaway faction of the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), along with his team, visited Gatti Harike, where under the leadership of Sant Baba Tara Singh Ji Sarhali Sahib from the Sampardai Kar Sewa sect, continuous relief efforts are being carried out in the flood-affected district of Tarn Taran.

At Gatti Harike, located nearly 2 km downstream from Harike Headworks, a protective spur of the river embankment was showing signs of collapse. Following the directives of Baba Sukha Singh and Baba Hakim Singh, relief work has been ongoing for the past few days.

During his visit, Giani Harpreet Singh reviewed the situation, offered words of encouragement to the affected families and lauded the efforts of Baba Sukha Singh and Baba Hakim Singh.

Meanwhile, in areas impacted by the Ravi, Sampardai Kar Sewa has dispatched motorboats to Dera Baba Nanak and Ajnala to rescue families trapped by the floodwaters. Additionally, tractors loaded with langar and drinking water have been sent from Sarhali Sahib to Ajnala.

Jathedar Babar Singh, a follower of the sect in Sarhali, said since August 11, a dedicated team from Sampardai Kar Sewa has been round-the-clock active in Baupur and Ahli Kalan villages of the Sultanpur Lodhi region, providing relief materials and motorboat services 24x7.
