Sahney’s donation is the first major contribution to this campaign. The funds will help restore infrastructure in flood-hit areas. Sahney also donated 50 tractors and 10 JCB machines through his Sun Foundation to help remove silt from villages and towns.

The floods caused widespread damage to Punjab’s roads and bridges. Thousands of kilometers of roads and many bridges were destroyed. The state faces significant financial challenges. The Mission Chardi Kalan campaign aims to raise funds to aid recovery and rebuild vital infrastructure.

NRIs, local philanthropists, and others have already contributed money and goods. This campaign is critical to helping Punjab get back on its feet and recover from the disaster.

On Thursday, listeners of Red FM Vancouver and Calgary pledged over $1.5 million. Vancouver alone contributed $1 million, while Calgary raised $460,000. The next day, Red FM Toronto added nearly $500,000, taking the total to $2 million.

All donations will go to Sikhi Awareness Foundation (SAF) International, a Surrey-based non-profit. SAF will run a three-phase relief plan: emergency supplies, rehabilitation, and long-term rebuilding for affected families.

Red FM president Kulwinder Sanghera said the community’s support has been outstanding over the past 19 years of Radiothons. He added that the South Asian community always steps up during crises.

This quick and united effort shows the strong ties between Canadian South Asians and their roots in Punjab. The raised funds will provide vital relief for thousands suffering due to the floods.
