Flood Relied Aid to Bahalwa Panchayat and Bahalwa Bajaar Panchayat by Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj
Detailed Summary and Aid Provided
The video focuses on the distress of the farmers in Bahalwa, who were suffering from severe waterlogging that destroyed their standing crops and jeopardized the upcoming planting season.
1. The Plight and the Appeal
- The village of Bahalwa is uniquely divided into two administrative councils: Bahalwa Panchayat and Bahalwa Bajaar Panchayat.
- Collectively, over 1,000 acres of land were submerged. Following unsuccessful attempts to secure help from government and political bodies, the two panchayats jointly submitted an application to Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj's organization.
- The entire process, from submitting the application to the delivery of the aid, was completed in a remarkably short period of three days.
2. Details of the Aid Provided
The two panchayats submitted separate requests, which were combined and fulfilled:
| Panchayat | Requested Aid (Pumps) | Requested Aid (Pipe) |
|---|---|---|
| Bahalwa Panchayat | 4 x 15 HP Motors | 3,000 feet of 8-inch Pipe |
| Bahalwa Bajaar Panchayat | 3 x 15 HP Motors | 20,000 feet of 8-inch Pipe |
Total Aid Delivered to the Village:
- Pumps/Motors: 7 motors (15 HP)
- Pipes: 23,000 feet (over 4.3 miles) of 8-inch high-quality pipe
- Additional Items: The aid included all necessary accessories like starters, cables, and other running equipment to ensure the motors could be operated without any further expense or delay to the villagers.
3. Impact and Villager Response
- The relief material arrived in a massive convoy of trucks, surprising the entire village.
- Villagers expressed their immense gratitude, viewing Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj's intervention as a "gift from God" and a permanent solution to their recurring flood problem, which government efforts had failed to address.
- The organization presented the villagers with a special request, urging them to use the material efficiently to drain the water quickly, ensuring the next crop season is not missed.
- In a gesture of respect, the villagers from all 36 communities honored the team with a turban (Pagri) and a shield, affirming their commitment to using the equipment for the benefit of the entire village.
