Four plants have been sent via the Indian Air Force, of which one has been installed at the Srinigar Air Force station. Another six Sarvajal plants shall be sent over the course of the week. More plants are being organized and shall be provided as per the needs of the State. The Piramal Sarvajal team of engineers and technicians has been stationed in the State to install, run and maintain the machines.

The joint relief exercise is being helped and coordinated via the Prime Minister’s Office, Cabinet Secretariat, Home Secretary, Air Force, the J&K Government through its Resident Commissioner, ISKCON and Akal Takht (Golden Temple) for volunteer force and manpower.

Apart from this, Piramal has offered to help set up an automated kitchen, as and when required, with ISKCON and led by Dr.Radhakrishna Das. Akal Takht has offered its volunteer network to provide disaster relief.
