The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee sent four trucks loaded with relief material from Amritsar to assist flood‑affected communities in Nepal.
Amritsar, Punjab – The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) has dispatched four trucks carrying essential relief items to Nepal, where heavy monsoon rains have triggered widespread flooding and displacement. The convoy left SGPC's headquarters in Amritsar with food, drinking water, blankets and medical supplies intended for the most vulnerable families.
The aid follows reports of severe inundation across several districts of Nepal, prompting a humanitarian response from neighboring countries. SGPC officials said the relief effort reflects the Sikh community's commitment to supporting disaster‑stricken populations beyond India's borders.
While the trucks are en route, Nepalese authorities have appealed for additional assistance to address the growing needs of flood victims. SGPC has pledged to monitor the situation and consider further contributions if required.
The initiative underscores the cross‑border solidarity that often emerges during natural calamities, highlighting the role of religious and community organisations in emergency relief.
No official statements from Nepalese officials were available at the time of publication.
