Kashmir Muslim Women Welcome Sikh Volunteers with Roars of “Bole So Nihal”

JAMMU & KASHMIR, India—The Sikh Relief (SOPW) team, which has been providing humanitarian aid to the flood hit areas of Jammu & Kashmir, was welcomed in Bimla Nagar of Kashmir with roars of “Bole So Nihal, Sat Sri Akal” by the local Muslim women.

The Sikh Relief team, along with other Sikh humanitarian organizations, have been providing aid to local towns and villages which have been cut from the world.  In addition to food supplies, Sikh volunteers have handed out clothing, medicines and other materials to put the families at ease.

The humanitarian aid has been distributed without discrimination of religion or caste by the Sikh volunteers.

The Sikh Relief team posted that in Bimla Nagar of Kashmir, its volunteers distributed blankets to 250 Muslim families.  A Sikh Relief sevadar posted online that, “our Muslim sisters were so overwhelmed [that] their thank you was with the roar of jakare Bole So Nihal.”

The Sikh Relief project is funded by Sikhs living in Europe.  In addition to this team, Sikh Awareness Foundation, a group spearheaded by Sikh Youth from Canada has also been providing much necessary aid to the flood victims.

Sikh24 urges its readers to support the work by Sikh organizations in Jammu & Kashmir through monetary donations.
