Randeep Hooda in Punjab: Extending a Helping Hand to Flood-Affected Families

When Punjab faces a crisis, its spirit of “sarbat da bhala” (welfare of all) always shines through. This time, actor Randeep Hooda has stepped up to personally support families devastated by the recent floods in Gurdaspur, Punjab.

Punjab Floods: A Community in Crisis

Over the past weeks, heavy rains have caused rivers to overflow in Punjab, leading to widespread flooding. Thousands of homes, farmlands, and livelihoods have been damaged. Gurdaspur, among the hardest-hit districts, continues to struggle with displacement and destruction. Families have lost not just property, but also livestock and standing crops — their primary source of income.

Randeep Hooda’s On-Ground Support

Unlike many who only voice solidarity on social media, Randeep flew down to Punjab to personally visit the affected areas.

• He joined hands with Global Sikhs NGO founder Amarpreet Singh and his long-time friend Maninder Singh.

• This is not their first collaboration; from Kashmir to Kerala, Manipur to Maharashtra, Randeep has consistently supported relief efforts with the NGO for over a decade.

• In Gurdaspur, he interacted with flood-affected families, listened to their hardships, and reassured them of continued support.

A source close to the initiative shared: “Randeep always wanted to stand with the people of Punjab in this difficult time. His association with Global Sikhs NGO ensures not just immediate relief but long-term rehabilitation.”

Relief Efforts by Global Sikhs NGO

The Global Sikhs NGO volunteers are working tirelessly on the ground:

• Distributing food, medicines, and essential relief materials

• Setting up rehabilitation support for families who lost their homes

• Rebuilding efforts to restore basic dignity to displaced communities

These actions, coupled with visits from personalities like Randeep Hooda, bring both hope and visibility to the ongoing crisis.

Why This Matters

Natural disasters leave behind not just physical damage but emotional scars. When a public figure like Randeep shows up on the ground, it sends a powerful message: “You are not alone.”

In Punjab’s long history of resilience, moments like these strengthen the bond between communities and those who step in to help.
