*"Seva at the Border"*

*"Seva at the Border"* *Forwarded As Received From A Regimental Officer Who Belongs To This Area* Pharwal village district Gurdaspur lay quietly between the Ravi River and the Pakistan border, a land of wheat fields and brave hearts. Tensions along the border is rising. Every villager felt the weight in the air. At the Gurudwara Sahib, the sacred heart of the village, the elders and youth gathered and bell tolled softly by Baba ji (Granthi) “Waheguru has placed us here, near the border, for a reason. If our soldiers are to fight, we will stand behind them with every breath. This Gurudwara will become our langar bunker — we will feed the army like it's our *own family* .” The villagers broke into teams, each with a clear role — to be activated as n when required. Over all in charge Retd SM *Langar Command Team* Led by Bebe Chanan Kaur and, prepared to convert the entire Gurudwara kitchen into a 24-hour langar center. Massive degchis (cooking pots) were cleaned and readied. Food stocking carried out. *Food Prep Volunteers* Each assigned tasks: kneading dough, rolling rotis, cutting vegetables, boiling milk. *Farming to Ration Team* Landowners pledged portions of their crops — wheat, mustard, vegetables, and milk — to be redirected for army support. "Our fields are the Army’s too," Slogans were painted on walls: > “Desh sewa, dharam sewa hai” “Langar chalega jab tak jawaan ladenge” The spirit of seva and sacrifice buzzed louder than any war drum
