The group began relief efforts to help out Afghan nationals who have fled their country to arrive in India, following Afghanistan’s takeover by the Taliban.

From arranging accommodations to making education provisions for the children of those who have come seeking aid, organisations like the Hemkunt Foundation, Khalsa Aid International, and the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) have stepped up to lend a helping hand.

Afghanistan has been in a state of panic ever since its former president Ashraf Ghani abdicated his chair earlier this month, leaving large parts of the country to be taken over by the Islamist militant group.

What ensued was chaos across several Afghan cities, with thousands of Afghan citizens flooding the Kabul airport in the hope of leaving their homeland for a safer place.??
