UP youths ride 550 km on bike to aid flood victims

In the flood-affected areas of Baupur Mand, under the guidance of Rajya Sabha member Sant Balbir Singh Seechewal, efforts are underway to level and restore farmlands damaged by floods. People from different parts of the country have been sending assistance for this noble cause and volunteers have been contributing to this humanitarian mission.

However, everyone was surprised when two young men from UP travelled 550 km on a motorcycle to reach Nirmal Kutia in Sultanpur Lodhi.

The youths said due to the floods in the Baupur area, a large amount of silt and sand had accumulated in farmers’ fields. What had astonished them was that Sant Seechewal himself was driving tractors to clear and level the land. To support this work, the UP men said they had collected over ₹1,46,000 for diesel to fuel the tractors serving in the affected areas.

Shubham and Sushil, who brought the donation, said people from the villages of Faridpur, Patti, and Chak Madipur had jointly contributed the funds to assist in the levelling of farmers’ fields. Shubham added that when they saw a video on social media of Seechewal driving a tractor to help farmers, their entire village was astonished to see an MP quietly working for the people without any publicity.

Inspired by this, two neighbouring villages decided to visit Sant Seechewal and contribute diesel for the tractors being used in the flood-relief efforts.

At Nirmal Kutia, Sultanpur Lodhi, both young men were honoured and warmly welcomed for their dedication and spirit of service. Earlier too, people from Rajasthan and Haryana had visited Seechewal to offer assistance for those affected by the floods.
