Ludhiana Citizen’s Council
The Ludhiana Citizen's Council (Regd.), an NGO, has been serving the poor people of the society, as well as sick, chronic patients, infirm and invalids since the riots of 1984. A handful of people, seeing the angst and fundamentalism of the two communities during terrorism in Punjab, decided to float the Ludhiana Citizens’ Council with an aim to promote unity among the communities and provide service to the humanity as they felt that ‘manukhta di sewa sab tu uttam sewa'.
It was human misery that prompted the members of the Ludhiana Citizens’ Council to formulate a programme whereby the ailing and the distressed persons in society could be given timely help in the form of medicines, free of cost. They got together and founded medical-aid bank. This concept flourished and a team of dedicated volunteers joined. Qualified doctors offered their services. Medical aid even for cancer, TB and the patients with heart ailment is provided. Philanthropists have donated expensive medicines.
Whether it is wartime, troubled time or peacetime the Ludhiana Citizen’s Council is always there to help. During terrorism days, members of LCC tried to reduce the rift between Sikhs and Hindus by organizing joint gurpurabs. They tried to be a bridge between administration and the people. Through their efforts hundreds of people got redressal of their problems.
Notable among their activities was organisation of Baba Sehgal night in the troubled days. Eighty families of police personnel were given Rs 5,000 each from the proceeds. Film star Sri Devi’s show was held which reaped a rich harvest and the council collected Rs 25 lakhs. The sum was utilized in raising houses on the Chandigarh Road for the police widows. During the Kargil war, the LCC was the only organization permitted to supply mineral water, biscuits, socks and mufflers to the soldiers. Their 100 volunteers were there at the station to cheer up the soldiers.
The youth wing of the LCC, a 1000-member strong unit, has 600 regular blood donors on its list. The directory of blood donors has been provided to each hospital and the donors can be summoned any time. The youth wing has also chalked out plans of making Ludhiana clean. They want to help the traffic to run smoothly. They often hold traffic camps and distribute pamphlets showing traffic signals. The LCC has donated an ambulance to traffic police for accident victims on the roads.
