Punjab is reeling under its worst floods since 1988, with all of its 23 districts hit and over 3.5 lakh people affected. At such a time, as multiple disaster response teams, including the Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force, are leading the rescue operations, many prominent actors and filmmakers have stepped in to lend a helping hand and commit themselves to the state’s long-term rehabilitation.
Actor Sonu Sood has sprung into action with the Sood Charity Foundation deploying medical vans, distributing sanitary kits, and setting up health camps in the most affected districts. Sood revealed to mid-day that his sister Malvika, along with the foundation’s team, headed to Punjab earlier this week and surveyed many villages to understand the on-ground necessities. He elaborates, “Malvika is on ground, meeting each person. She has covered the villages of Khamanon, Khurd, Sanghera, and Dharamkot as the idea is to reach out to as many people as possible. I am on video call 20 times a day to make sure we are sending relief material — including medicines, food, mosquito nets, and cattle fodder — to the right people. We have also sent two boats to the low-lying areas of Dharamkot and Fazilka.”
The actor understands that consistent and months-long continuous relief work will be required to bring Punjab back to its feet.
