Support to Doctors, nurses and paramedical staff: Under his leadership, DSGMC provided shelter and food to doctors and nurses from RML hospital, Safdarjung Hospital and Lady Hardinge Hospital in Gurdwara Bangla Sahib and Motibagh Gurdwara while people had refused them accommodation owing to the fear of virus spread or infection. 3.

Langar on Wheels & Free Ambulance Sewa: DSGMC extended the langar service beyond the four walls of Gurdwara by introducing ‘langar on wheels’ so that no one sleeps on an empty stomach.

Oxygen Langar: Manjinder Singh Sirsa saved thousands of lives by playing a key role in organizing Oxygen Langar at various places in Delhi and outside Delhi Gurdwaras.

That was the time when Manjinder Singh Sirsa played the role of a saviour. 6. 400-bedded Covid Care Center: One of the most historic contributions of Manjinder Singh Sirsa was the creation of the 400-bedded Covid Care Center at Gurdwara Rakab Ganj Sahib which was completed in the shortest possible span of just 10 days.

More than 5000 covid patients were treated here and many young lives were saved. This Covid Care Center offered many facilities and even general medicines to Covid patients free of cost. This center was open to people of all age groups and without any bias of caste, community, creed, or religion.

It was unbelievable how he mobilized his whole team and resources to make this hospital ready and operational in just 60 days.

A total of 669 people were evacuated from Afghanistan under "Operation Devi Shakti”, which included members of the Afghan Hindu/Sikh minority community. 438 Indians were earlier evacuated from Afghanistan in the month of August 2021.
