Urgent call for support: Families hit by flash floods and cloudbursts in Uttarkashi need help

Of the many images that define Punjab, vibrant fields of golden wheat and the unwavering spirit of its people—none should be that of a vast, inland sea. Yet today, this is the devastating reality for all 23 districts of the state, officially declared flood-hit as nature’s fury continues to unleash unimaginable hardship.The numbers, though stark, only tell a fraction of the story. 30 lives have been tragically lost, with districts like Pathankot and Ludhiana bearing the deepest grief. Over 3.5 lakh residents have seen their world submerged. The scale is immense, drawing fearful comparisons to the nightmare floods of 1988, a benchmark of misery that a generation had prayed never to see again.<img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/6b0047ec-9969-4509-9720-f107bf774c4b.webp" />Your support is vital. Donate now.Donate easily through UPI, all debit/credit cards and net banking. Charitable donations to this fundraising campaign are tax exempted under 80G of the Income Tax Act (India).The true heartbreak lies beneath the waters. Across Punjab, 1.4 lakh hectares of standing crops, the very lifeblood of the state and the nation’s food basket have been destroyed.The swollen Sutlej, Beas, and Ravi rivers, fed by relentless rains in the Himalayas, have burst their banks, transforming towns and villages into isolated islands. Families have been forced to flee with only the clothes on their backs, their homes and belongings swallowed by the floodwaters. People have been evacuated to safer ground, with relief camps becoming temporary shelters for the displaced. The proud people of Punjab, who have always given so much, now find themselves in desperate need of help.The road to recovery will be long. It will take years, not months, for communities to rebuild their homes, their livelihoods, and their lives. But in the midst of this crisis, hope arrives through immediate, on-the-ground action.<img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/fe000576-b377-43f0-b38c-174b93a313f5.webp" />This is where we can help.
