MLA Dhaliwal donates Rs 1 lakh from salary to Red Cross

As flood relief and rescue operations continue with full force in Amritsar’s Ramdas and Ajnala areas, Ajnala MLA Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal donated Rs 1 lakh to the Red Cross, Amritsar, an organisation that is working collaboratively to help the flood victims.

Handing over the relief amount to Red Cross Chairperson-cum-Deputy Commissioner Sakshi Sawhney, Dhaliwal said the Red Cross stands with the people of the district in every crisis and even now the Red Cross is working tirelessly to help the flood victims. “I am especially grateful to the volunteers of the Red Cross, Amritsar, who are working to help the people of Ajnala. As an encouragement, he gave a cheque for Rs 1 lakh to the organisation and I am there to help the Red Cross in the future as well,” he said.

This comes after several political leaders from the Opposition, including Sukhbir Badal and MP (Amritsar) Gurjeet Singh Aujla criticised the lack of resources in rescue and relief operations, calling them ‘inadequate’.

Meanwhile, Dhaliwal went on a boat to interact with the people of the villages in his constituency that were surrounded by water and listened to their problems. He also distributed langar and inspected the relief camps.
