He also donated 100 bags of cement for the construction of three mosques and also donated mattresses to the mosques.
It is worth mentioning here that charity is an essential part of the Sikh religion and members of the Sikh community regularly feed the poor in Peshawar and other parts of the province, especially in Ramazan.
The president of local traders association Haji Sher Muhammad Afridi thanked Parlat Singh for his charity services and Ramazan package.
“The valley is badly affected by the wave of terrorism and these people are really in need of help. Today, Parlat Singh not only distributed edibles but also donated cement for local mosques. The Sikh community is an integral part of our society,” he said.
