Shah Rukh Khan's Meer Foundation Sends Relief Kits to 1500 Families in Punjab

Shah Rukh Khan’s charitable arm, the Meer Foundation, has stepped up in a major relief effort, distributing essential kits to 1,500 households in flood-affected districts of Punjab. The foundation joined hands with local non-governmental organizations to reach communities in Amritsar, Patiala, Fazilka, and Ferozepur. 

Punjab has been reeling under severe flooding, triggered by heavy rainfall across Jammu & Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh, leading rivers like the Sutlej, Beas, and Ravi and their tributaries to swell beyond normal levels. The resulting deluge has devastated homes, infrastructure, and lives across many districts. 

The relief kits from Meer Foundation are comprehensive: they include food items and hygiene supplies, medicines, mosquito nets, tarpaulin sheets, folding beds, and cotton mattresses. These packages aim not only to address immediate needs like safety and health, but also to restore dignity among displaced and suffering families. 

In a public message, Shah Rukh Khan expressed his heartfelt concern: "My heart goes out to those in Punjab impacted by these devastating floods. Sending prayers and strength… The spirit of Punjab shall never break… may God bless them all." His outreach underscores the emotional connection and responsibility he feels toward affected communities. 

The Meer Foundation’s intervention follows other celebrity-led relief efforts, including Salman Khan’s foundation, which has also contributed aid during this crisis. The combined efforts are amplifying relief operations across the region as NGOs, government bodies, and citizen groups work to mitigate ongoing damage. 

Meer Foundation has a history of supporting disaster relief and social welfare across India. This latest initiative in Punjab reaffirms the foundation’s commitment to stepping into crises, partnering with local groups, and delivering on-the-ground help during natural disasters. 

As many affected families wait for full rehabilitation, the relief kits offer a vital lifeline—some relief from the immediate dangers of exposure, disease, hunger, and the loss of shelter. While rebuilding long-term infrastructure and restoring livelihoods will take time and resources, Meer Foundation’s work ensures people are not forgotten in the interim.
