Army Soldier, Wife Donate 90 LPG Cylinders to Assam Flood Victims
Recognising the shortage of cooking fuel among flood-affected families, an Indian Army soldier and his wife donated 90 LPG cylinders and burners under the banner of the Unique Foundation during the second phase of relief distribution in Assam.
SIVASAGAR- In a significant humanitarian initiative, an Indian Army soldier and his wife have donated 90 LPG cylinders and burners to flood-affected families in Assam, addressing one of the critical challenges faced by survivors after the devastating floods.
The relief initiative was undertaken by Shakti Pal and Geetika Pal of Siliguri, West Bengal, under the banner of the Unique Foundation, which has been actively supporting flood-hit communities in Assam through multiple phases of relief distribution.
According to the organisation, the first phase of relief included the distribution of essential commodities such as food, drinking water, clothing, utensils, medicines and other daily necessities. However, during interactions with affected families, the Foundation found that despite the availability of food supplies, many households lacked cooking fuel.
