On Friday, Sharma, along with his team, visited areas along the Yamuna where residents had been forced out of their homes and were taking refuge in temporary shelters and on the streets. He provided families with food, drinking water, and other essential supplies.

"This is a time for service," Sharma said. "When people are hungry and homeless, it is our duty to use our strength and resources to support them. Sports have given me recognition, and it is my responsibility to give back to society."

Local residents welcomed his initiative, saying that every helping hand during such a crisis is invaluable.
