A team of Young Khalsa’s under Khalsa Aid team have initiated floods relief in the floods hit areas of J & K. We are working closely with the JK Sikh Professionals ( JKSP ).

There is an urgent need for almost everything. Together with JKSP relief centres in Jammu and Kashmir have been set up. The relief teams have started to distribute food and water to those who are escaping the floods.

Devastating floods have taken place in Kashmir valley during the past few days. Among the worst affected areas in the Srinagar City are Jawahar Nagar, Raj Bagh & Mehjoor Nagar & Allochi Bagh. All these places have an approximate Sikh population of around 25000 souls. All of their houses are inundated under 10-18 feet of water & they have lost everything. These people are in dire need of help with children & aged who need immediate attention.

People are waiting on rooftops awaiting to be rescued either by boats or choppers to safer places. Some 150 families are reported to have been already shifted to Gurudwara Shaheed Bunga in Barzulla which is among the lesser affected areas, but these are unconfirmed reports since there is no phone connectivity since Sunday (07-09-14) afternoon with the valley.
