Fresno Sikh Community Gathers to Mourn Manjit Singh, Honor His Heroism

FRESNO, California (KGPE) — Nearly a hundred gathered Sunday evening at the Sikj Institute of Fresno to grieve, but also celebrate the life of Manjit Singh.

News of Singh’s death has gone global . The 29-year-old died after he dove into the Kings River at Reedley Beach to save three children from drowning. One of them is still reported to be at Valley Children’s Hospital.

Sunday’s service had numerous members of the community, as well as members of Singh’s family, come forward to speak on Singh’s character. Many of those who spoke said his last actions show his commitment to not only his faith, but also his commitment to helping others. Singh moved to Fresno two years ago and got a job to provide for his family still in India.

“While we struggle, we also make meaning [of his death], that he was supposed to be there at that time and that place to do whatever he could to help those children,” said Naindeep Singh, executive director of Jakara Movement, a Sikh community organization.

“He gave up his life to save children. This is a story of an immigrant, the immigrant community love this nation,” said family friend Gurdeep Shergill.Shergill also made comments about the need for life vest mandates for local waterways.

Clovis resident Desiree Genera echoed her sentiment .She wants to prevent the next hero from being taken too soon.“I have reached out to Reedley City Council, we’re going to be connecting and hopefully get some implemented changes with mandatory life jackets,” Genera said.

Fresno city councilmen Miguel Arias and Mike Karbassi — as well as Rep. T.J. Cox, D-Fresno — attended the service as well.

The GoFundMe to help return Singh home to India is still ongoing.

In its reply, the fire and rescue department of Chandigarh MC stated that no fire safety certificate has been issued to the building. It also admitted that no request letter was submitted by officials of Punjab legislative assembly for obtaining the fire safety certificate.

Activist Sabharwal said, “There can be fire safety arrangements in the premises, but without fire safety certificate, the process is incomplete“So, obviously, rule makers are above rules.”

Scotland Sikh Foodbank ToContinue Operating After 80,000 Lockdown Meals

A Community group formed to deliver lifeline lockdown help has served up 80,000 meals to vulnerable people.Volunteers created The Sikh Foodbank in late March to aid shielding and struggling households from all backgrounds.

As well as basics, it has provided culturally-specific groceries not normally found in food bank parcels to people in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee and Aberdeen.

And while stay-at-home rules have lifted for most of the population, Co-Founder Charandeep Singh says the impact of growing job losses means more people continue to seek support.Due to cultural and language barriers, many of those from ethnic minority backgrounds are unaware of their rights.

In response, the Sikh food bank is now providing help on accessing support through leaflets and videos in some of the most-used South Asian languages in Scotland as well the latest Covid-19 information.

To ensure that those from different minority communities are not left behind. He said: “We are seeing people who have been placed onto consultation and know they are going to be made redundant, or people who are on zero hour contracts or have lost their jobs, particularly in hospitality.
