Jammu, Aug 31: At the forefront of providing solace and sustenance to those caught in the fury of nature across Jammu, The Maharaja Gulab Singh Brigade (MGSB) on Sunday appreciated the Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s quick and prompt visit to the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir to assess situation and review the relief efforts.
The MGSB held a crucial meeting, headed by its Chairman Shivang Satya Gupta on Sunday wherein discussions were held to strategise and plan on further amplifying its support to government agencies in relief and rehabilitation of flood affected families.
The meeting, attended by President Rajay Jamwal and Executive Working President Anil Singh Rakwal among other members of the Brigade, unanimously appreciated the prompt visit of the Home Minister to Jammu region.
“In the wake of devastating rains and flash floods that left Jammu city grappling with destruction and displacement over the last few days, Union Home Minister Amit Shah has arrived in Jammu to personally look after the relief and rehabilitation efforts after this catastrophic disaster,” the Brigade said.
“The fact that Home Minister decided to undertake a two-days visit, reflects his compassionate connection to Jammu and Kashmir and its people, as well as his sensitivity, in this difficult phase,” it added.
It hoped that this quick and instantaneous response by Home Minister will also inspire the officers of Jammu and Kashmir government,” it said.
It is pertinent to mention that Maharaja Gulab Singh Brigade has been reaching out to people of Jammu affected by devastating rains and flash floods, and distributing essentials, including clean water and food to the needy.
Over the last few years, the Brigade has reached out to more than 7000 people including flood-affected natives, stranded rail passengers and stuck tourists, survivors among others whose lives were upended by the natural calamity.
The efforts of Brigade have reached over 45 locations across Jammu including the hardest-hit areas including Gujjar Nagar, Peer Kho, and Bhagwati Nagar Yatri Niwas across the Jammu city.
The distribution of essential supplies has proved not merely an act of governance or social service; for the suffering people, but a moment of reassurance that they were not abandoned in this hour of need.
The Maharaja Gulab Singh Brigade (MGSB) is an apolitical, socio-intellectual thinktank that has been making tireless efforts for the inclusive development of south east Asia, under the able leadership of founder and chairman Shivang Satya Gupta, besides working for social, religious, regional integration of people towards prosperity and well-being for a stronger nation.
Working on the principles laid down by His Highness Raj Rajeshwar Maharajdhiraj Maharaja Shri Gulab Singh Ji, the founder of undivided Jammu, Kashmir & Ladakh, the MGSB has been playing a crucial role in engaging the society at large for the revival of India’s ancient heritage, which it believes will become inspiration for achieving futuristic goals of our great nation.
