The food (langar) provided by Khalsa Aid is the only hope for these families who are living in isolated locations.<br \/>\nThis is exactly where langar (free food) is needed, says Amarpreet Singh, managing director of Khalsa Aid in India, who shares how the organisation and its volunteers have initiated various rescue missions.<br \/>\n\u201cWe provide relief to the victims and this doesn\u2019t fall in a stipulated time frame, sometimes the relief mission can go on for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It is one such mission that has been much talked about in India and abroad, the case of 39 missing Indians in Iraq. Amarpreet happened to be in the place when the incident happened. Khalsa Aid did try their best to get information on the missing Indians.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe got their partners in touch with Kurdish people and the police, but in vain. There has been no information on them so far, no video, no pictures, nothing. With ISIS around one has to carry the relief work with some caution. We are concerned about the safety but we have no information on them yet.\u201d<br \/>\nThe organisation is trying to get information on the missing Indians from those who are fleeing from the ISIS clutches in Mosul.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Khalsa Aid: Serving Humanity Across Borders \u201cRecognising the whole human race as one,\u201d it is this teaching of the guru that forms the basis of the International NGO Khalsa Aid, founded by Ravinder Singh from UK.
