As the new Coronavirus Strain wreaked havoc in the United Kingdom, the Government there immediately sealed all international borders. France too did the same, and the highways were locked.

More than 1000 truck drivers found themselves stranded at Kent, which is a border town, leading to France. 48 hours had passed, and the truckers were distressed, with no food, no water and no updates.

At around 12 in noon yesterday, the local Gurudwara received distressed calls from the truck drivers for help.

By 3.00 pm, the Gravesend Gurdwara had prepared record 800+ meals and distributed them to the truck drivers.

The local media has termed this gesture as magical and divine, as within 3 hours, more than 1000 truckers were fed with steaming hot chickpea curries, mushroom and pasta dishes.

I don’t know the definition of religion, but whatever it is, this gesture and humanitarian aid exhibited by the Gravesend Gurdwara is very close to that.

That’s the power of humanitarianism.
