Beed Babran village, situated in the Hisar tehsil of Hisar district, Haryana, recently encountered a severe waterlogging crisis that threatened both public and private infrastructure.
Floodwaters reached depths of 7 to 8 feet in many areas, with some sections recording levels as high as 12 to 13 feet. The accumulation of stagnant water led to several critical issues:
- Residential Risks: Foundations of houses began to sink due to water saturation, resulting in deep structural cracks. Approximately four to five houses were on the verge of collapse.
- Educational Impact: The local government school was submerged, rendering the building unusable and forcing the temporary relocation of classes to the Ambedkar Bhavan.
- Public Infrastructure: The village cremation ground and its boundary walls were partially submerged and faced imminent structural failure.
- Sanitary Hazards: The stagnant water became a breeding ground for mosquitoes and flies, creating foul odors and increasing the risk of waterborne diseases.
Logistics and Equipment Deployment via Annapurna Muhim
Following unsuccessful attempts to secure government intervention, the village Sarpanch and local representatives sought assistance from Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj.
Within one week of the request, Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj directly provided a comprehensive drainage kit to Beed Babran village through the Annapurna Muhim.
The deployment included specific technical components required for large-scale water extraction:
- 2500 feet of 8-inch diameter delivery pipes.
- One 10 HP (Horsepower) high-capacity electric motor set.
- A complete starter system for the motor.
- Technical accessories including sundia (connectors) and nipples for pipe assembly.
The village Sarpanch, Devender, noted that the speed of this intervention bypassed the typical administrative delays associated with government estimates and tender processes.

Impact of Drainage Operations on Village Infrastructure
The motor and the 2500-foot pipeline provided by Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj were operated continuously to discharge water out of the village residential and institutional zones. Two months after the commencement of these operations, the following results were documented:
- Water Level Reduction: The water level was lowered by approximately 7 to 8 feet from its peak.
- School Restoration: The government school building has dried completely, allowing the resumption of regular classes within the original premises.
- Stabilization of Homes: The withdrawal of water has halted the further sinking of foundations for houses located near the water body.
- Future Preparedness: The villagers have decided to retain the 2500-foot pipeline as a permanent asset for the village to mitigate future flooding events.
Testimonials from Local Representatives and Affected Residents
- Devender (Sarpanch Representative): He stated that after witnessing the relief work of Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj in other villages via social media, he contacted the Sant’s representatives. He highlighted that despite being in jail, Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj ensured the relief work with extreme efficiency.
- Sonu (Panch, Ward Number 17): Sonu’s residence was severely damaged by the water pressure. He provided photographic and video evidence of wide cracks in the floors and walls of his home. He reported that his family had to sleep outside during rains because the house was no longer safe. He credited the drainage provided by Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj for saving his property from total collapse.
- Local Elderly Residents: Villagers expressed that the assistance was provided without any discrimination and addressed the immediate fear of losing their shelters.
