With Mumbai and Navi Mumbai receiving extremely heavy rainfall over the past few days, the situation in the city has been concerning. Several areas have been waterlogged, and with suspended transport leaving commuters stranded, Gurudwaras across the city have stepped forward to provide shelter, food, and assistance to those in urgent need.
Amid this crisis, the Maharashtra Sikh Association (MSA) announced that all Gurudwaras in the region will remain open round-the-clock to provide shelter, warmth, and Langar (community food) to anyone stranded due to the rains.
People unable to reach their homes because of waterlogged streets and disrupted transport can go to any Gurudwara for relief in an extraordinary humanitarian gesture.
