Flood relief in Bihar

Saint Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji showered his blessings on flood ravaged Bihar in the form of a convoy of relief materials and volunteers for the welfare of the worst hit people of districts Darbhanga, Muzzafarpur, Sitamarhi and Samastipur. People were reeling in starvation, and their houses and fields were submerged. As per the instructions of Hazoor Pita Ji- 3600 boxes of biscuits, 170 quintals of rice, domestic items, paper, candles, matchboxes etc. were also sent along with the food materials. All this was dispatched on 12th August, 2004. After an arduous journey of 72 hours, the members of Shah Satnam Ji Green ‘S’ Welfare Force reached Bihar and undertook the disbursement of aid with their own hands. They traversed 60 villages and covered 22 schools in the relief distribution effort. The administration, seeing this relief work, was immensely grateful and appreciative, and the people were overwhelmed- to say the least.

The sorrow of Bihar, river Kosi was once again in spate in 2008. It breached the barrage and embankments that were meant to contain it after the torrential Mansoon downpour. And hundreds of village were submerged displacing lacs of people. Over two hundred people lost their lives as 17 districts were submerged under the gushing waters. The areas of Supaul, Madhepura, Bhagalpur, Ararea and Wetern Champaran were the worst affected. People were forced to live on raw uncooked rice and flour. Dera Sacha Sauda, under Guruji's dynamic leadership rose to the occasion to offer a helping hand to the distressed. Over 150 volunteers acuomparmed by several truckloads of relief materials were flagged off by Guru Ji from Sirsa.
