Flood Relief Efforts in Punjab: –

In a significant gesture of support, the Governor of Punjab, Sh. Gulab Chand Kataria in his capacity as President of the Punjab State Branch of the Indian Red Cross Society, flagged off relief materials to 7 flood-affected districts of Punjab today. This initiative is part of the Indian Red Cross Society’s ongoing efforts to provide humanitarian aid and support to communities impacted by the recent floods.

The relief materials dispatched include fogging machines, which will play a crucial role in the rehabilitation process by helping to prevent the spread of waterborne diseases and ensuring a safer environment for the affected populations.

The flagging off ceremony marks the beginning of a concerted effort by the Punjab State Branch to reach out to the affected communities and provide them with the necessary support to rebuild their lives.
