There were many people who took refuge in the Shri Guru Singh Sabha Gurudwara in Dadar. The Gurudwara offered not only ‘langar’ but also provided shelter to about 750 people in its multiple prayer halls. Among many who took refuge, one was family was the Boleslawski family from Paris. After their fight got cancelled due to heavy downpour, the family was told to stay at the nearest Gurudwara. Before leaving for Aurangabad the family shared the experience and also wrote a thank you note for the Gurudwara.

Langar ( free community kitchen with hot food ) is being served to those stranded in Railway stations etc. Gurdwara Sahib is also providing shelter to 100s of people.
