Overview
- Guru Randhawa, who donated Rs 7 lakh on Tuesday, has partnered with the Sikh Aid Foundation to build 35 permanent elevated homes in Sivasagar, Jorhat and Nepali Khuti in Upper Assam.
- The contribution follows an earlier Rs 5 lakh gift he made to the Hello Life Foundation that was facilitated by digital creator Dimpu Baruah and used for immediate needs such as food, clothing and medical supplies.
- Other public figures including Salman Khan, Randeep Hooda and digital creators such as Fukra Insaan and Triggered Insaan have also provided funds or support, with NGOs and faith groups coordinating construction and relief work on the ground.
- The planned elevated homes are described by relief organisers as climate‑resilient shelters that raise living space above flood levels and aim to reduce repeated displacement and damage to property and livelihoods.
- Media reports note Randhawa’s past disaster giving and contemporaneous public criticism of his song 'Fine Shyt', with coverage presenting the donations as verified relief actions separate from the reputational debate.
