Khalsa Aid Comes To The Help Of Those Stranded In Ukraine, Serve Langar On Train
Some of the students who took a train to Poland on Saturday were left pleasantly surprised after they were offered fresh, free meals. According to Ravinder Singh, the founder of UK-based Sikh charity Khalsa Aid, Sikh volunteers have been helping students with free langar.
There is absolute pandemonium in Ukraine and hundreds of thousands of people including locals and foreign nationals are trying to flee the country.
This includes the thousands of Indian students, who could not have been evacuated before the war broke out on Thursday.
With the evacuation resuming from neighbouring countries, many are trying to reach Hungary, Romania and Poland where the evacuation flights are set to take off.

Many of these students have been sleeping in the open or in bomb shelters without proper food and water in the past few days.

This should not come as a surprise as Khalsa Aid has a history of serving those in need, from the war fronts of Syria and Yemen to victims of some of the worst natural disasters.
