Food facilities (Guru Ka Langer) have been provided to over 2,000 to 3,000 people by Dhubri Gurudwara on daily basis since Sunday as informed by Sardar Kulwant Singh, general secretary, Sikh Pratinidhi Board, Eastern Zone.

Sardar Harjinder Singh Matharu, president of Sikh Pratinidhi Board, Eastern Zone directed the Dhubri Gurudwara authority to provide all necessary helps to the flood victims.

“In order to provide their best service, a group of Sikh volunteers across the state, will reach Dhubri Gurudwara by Thursday evening,” said Gurbinder Singh, manager, Dhubri Gurudwara.
