Responding promptly to a distress call from the office of City Magistrate Dwiza Gathwal, the Annamrita Foundations mass meal kitchen, located in Omaxe City, immediately swung into action. Hot and nutritious meals were dispatched to the flood relief centers established at Government School Mustafabad, MVN Convent School Acheja, and Baghpur.

Thank you for all your help.” The piping hot cooked meals brought much-needed relief to the hungry and distressed victims, who had to leave their homes submerged in floodwaters.
City Magistrate Dwiza Gathwal lauded the Annamrita Foundations exceptional proactiveness and dedication in providing immediate assistance to those in need.
