New Delhi : From the historic Badi Masjid of village Chhattarpur, under the Chhattarpur Assembly constituency in South Delhi, large-scale relief material was sent to aid the flood-affected people of Punjab. This noble initiative was organized under the supervision of Millat-e-Awam Intezamia Committee, Badi Masjid Chhattarpur. The mosque’s Imam, Maulana Mohammad Iqbal, announced the campaign during the Friday prayers, after which members of the Muslim community enthusiastically participated, contributing donations as well as essential items.
A remarkable feature of this relief effort was the active participation of people from different faiths, setting a unique example of humanity and unity. Not only Muslims but also followers of other religions contributed generously, painting a moving picture of social harmony.
The mosque committee’s president, Chaudhary Farooq (President, Aman Committee), stated that the relief materials were systematically packed into kits so that every affected person could receive essential items equally. He said, “It is our humanitarian duty to support our Sikh brothers, who have always served selflessly in every calamity of the nation.”
The committee’s secretary, Chaudhary Momin, remarked, “Our help may be limited, but with the cooperation of society, we will continue to send relief materials to the flood-hit areas of Punjab.”
The role of senior social worker Shaukat Chaudhary was particularly commendable in the success of this campaign. He visited the mosque, appealed to people to donate, and encouraged wider participation through social media and public outreach.
The mosque’s Intezamia Committee, along with responsible members of the society, played a crucial role in this humanitarian work. Special contributors included:
Chaudhary Farooq (President, Aman Committee)
Chaudhary Momin
Sarfaraz Sheikh Siddiqui
Adil Qureshi

At local counters set up for the campaign, a large number of people arrived daily with food items, clothes, medicines, and other essentials. These were systematically packed into kits and dispatched to the affected areas.
The relief campaign launched from Chhattarpur’s Badi Masjid will not only serve as a lifeline for flood victims but also stands as a living example of social unity and the Ganga-Jamuni Tehzeeb (composite culture). This initiative has emerged as a symbol of brotherhood and dedication to humanity.
