Reliance Launches Relief Drive In Flood-Hit Punjab, Focuses On Food, Shelter And Livestock Aid
Punjab floods: Reliance Industries has launched a comprehensive relief operation in flood-stricken Punjab, focusing on Amritsar and Sultanpur Lodhi.
Reliance Industries has rolled out a large-scale relief operation in flood-affected areas of Punjab, with teams working alongside local authorities to provide immediate support in Amritsar and Sultanpur Lodhi, two of the worst-hit districts.
The company said its ten-point humanitarian plan includes dry ration kits for 10,000 families, voucher-based assistance of ₹5,000 each for 1,000 of the most vulnerable households, and supplies for community kitchens. Portable water filters are also being deployed in waterlogged villages to ensure safe drinking water.
To help families displaced by the floods, emergency shelter kits with tarpaulins, mosquito nets, ropes, and bedding are being distributed. Health awareness sessions and disinfection of contaminated water sources have also been launched to curb the risk of disease outbreaks, along with sanitation kits for affected households.
Livestock support is another major focus. Veterinary teams have reported severe distress among cattle due to prolonged waterlogging.
Reliance Foundation and its animal welfare initiative Vantara, in coordination with the state’s Animal Husbandry Department, have set up livestock camps to provide medicines, vaccines and feed. More than 3,000 silage bundles are being distributed for nearly 5,000 cattle. The Vantara team is also assisting in rescue efforts, treatment of injured animals, and safe disposal of deceased livestock to prevent infections.
