Punjab Flood
Shah Rukh Khan's Meer Foundation delivers relief to 1,500 flood-hit families in Punjab
Mumbai/IBNS: Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan's Meer Foundation has delivered relief to 1,500 flood-hit families in Punjab.
Meer Foundation, in partnership with local NGOs, is actively supporting the rehabilitation of families affected by the Punjab floods by distributing essential relief kits comprising medicines, hygiene supplies, food items, mosquito nets, tarpaulin sheets, folding beds, cotton mattresses, and other necessities.
This initiative will reach 1,500 households across Amritsar, Patiala, Fazilka, and Firozpur districts, addressing immediate health, safety, and shelter needs while helping families rebuild their lives with dignity.
What happened?
From late August into September 2025, Punjab has been hit by some of the worst floods in decades.
Heavy monsoon rains, especially in the upper catchments (Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir), caused rivers like Sutlej, Beas, Ravi and their tributaries/seasonal streams to swell.
At the same time, dams upstream had to release water, which added to downstream flooding.
