Despite not receiving salaries for seven months, executive assistants in Saran district handed out nearly a thousand food packets and essential items to flood‑affected families.
Saran district’s executive assistants, who have been waiting for salaries for the past seven months, organized a relief drive for families still reeling from recent floods. The staff pooled personal resources and coordinated with local volunteers to assemble and distribute close to 1,000 food packets, along with basic necessities such as drinking water, blankets and cooking fuel.
The distribution took place at several flood‑affected villages on the banks of the Ganges, where residents greeted the volunteers with gratitude despite the ongoing hardship. Officials said the relief kits were prepared using donated grains, oil, pulses and other staples, aiming to meet immediate nutritional needs.
Local leaders praised the initiative as a demonstration of civic responsibility, noting that the assistants’ effort highlighted community solidarity even when their own financial situation remains precarious. The act has been described as a “humanity first” example, encouraging other government employees to consider similar grassroots support in times of crisis.
