Lions Club Serves Free Langar at Shani Dev Temple in Ludhiana

Ludhiana – A Lions Club chapter set up a temporary langar (community kitchen) inside the premises of the Shani Dev Temple. Volunteers prepared and served free meals to worshippers and passers‑by, aiming to promote communal harmony and service. The initiative was part of the club’s regular social‑welfare activities, which often focus on feeding the needy during religious gatherings. Organisers said the response was positive, with many devotees expressing gratitude for the gesture. The club plans to replicate similar efforts at other local temples during upcoming festivals.

The langar operation was managed by club members and local volunteers who coordinated cooking, distribution, and sanitation. No monetary donations were solicited from attendees; the meals were entirely funded by the Lions Club’s charitable fund. The event underscores the organization’s commitment to grassroots outreach in Punjab’s urban centres.

Authorities from the temple administration welcomed the collaboration, noting that such community services enhance the temple’s role as a social hub. The Lions Club hopes the success of this langar will encourage other civic groups to undertake comparable initiatives.
