Islamabad – Al-Khidmat Foundation District Gujrat organized a grand ceremony yesterday to distribute winter relief packages worth Rs. 7 million among 1,000 flood-affected families. The initiative aims to support vulnerable households as temperatures begin to drop across the region.
Ameer Jamaat-e-Islami Punjab, Dr. Tariq Saleem, attended the ceremony as the chief guest, while other notable participants included Ameer Jamaat-e-Islami District Gujrat Chaudhry Ansar Mahmood Dhoul Advocate, President Al-Khidmat Foundation District Gujrat Raja Sajid Sharif, Deputy Ameer Jamaat-e-Islami District Gujrat Chaudhry Ghulam Abbas Warraich Advocate, Raja Naeem Khawar, President Pakistan Business Forum Gujrat Haji Muhammad Aslam Javed, Dr. Ishaq, and Chaudhry Safdar Warraich, among others.
Addressing the gathering, Dr. Tariq Saleem lauded the dedication and commitment of Al-Khidmat Foundation and Jamaat-e-Islami volunteers who, he said, had been actively engaged in relief operations from the very first day of the floods. Our volunteers provided rescue services, medical care, ready-to-eat meals, medicines, and dry rations without any discrimination,” said Dr. Saleem. “Now, even before the onset of severe cold, Al-Khidmat has ensured the provision of warm bedding and other winter essentials for the affected families.
Dr. Tariq Saleem also criticized the Punjab government and long-time ruling families in Gujrat, holding them responsible for the region’s inadequate flood management and infrastructure decay. He said Those who have ruled for three decades have treated the people of Punjab—especially Gujrat—like stepchildren. Their neglect will not be forgotten.
