  Fazilika: 4 October, 2016: Few things in the world are more powerful than a positive push. A smile. A world of optimism and hope. A 'you can do it' when things are tough. This is what a young lady IAS officer, Isha Kalia is made off. Dedication to work is her first and foremost priority. Her smiling face, her hope to do things and devotion works as a magic wand.

  Isha Kalia have proved it, the way she had handled the relief camps in Fazilka, it's a remarkable work. She has won the hearts of the people.

  It was the afternoon of the 29th September, when she received orders from the state government to set up relief camps for people who are going to be evacuated from the border villages. A decision was taken by the state government to immediately evacuate the villagers from the 10 km deep area near the Indo-Pak border.

  Time has come for action, process and carrying out a duty towards the nation. Following the orders, Isha Kalia convenes an "urgent situation" meeting of her team, ADC Charandev Mann, SDM Subash Khatak and all her district heads. The issue was to set up relief camps and side by side to motivate the villagers for evacuation. Within six hours the entire set up was given a practical shape and by midnight 22 relief camps came into being.  

  Same day, Isha Kalia started her mission to visit each relief camp personally and by late night, she covered all the camps. "Never seen such a bureaucrat filled up with devotion & humane approach. My head bows before her commitment towards duty" said one of her team member, who accompanied her.

  Now more than 4000 (four thousand) people are in the 16 operational relief camps. Day to day requirements of the evacuees are being looked after by the teams set up for this purpose. One officer has been made in charge of four villages. Whattsapp group has been created to monitor the relief work. CCTV cameras have been installed for surveillance. Sanitation teams, medical teams, cleaning teams and cooking teams are working round the clock. Fogging is being done in all camps, mosquito coils, soaps for washing & bathing are being provided for peoples comfort. Isha Kalia herself visits almost all the camps daily to get feedback and improve the things.

  Babushahi.com team visited the camps and met Isha Kalia to know the status of the camps. Isha Kalia said "Initially, we have setup 22 relief centres, at present 16 centres are operational. People did not turn in rest of the centres".

  Isha further disclosed 'We have also arranged schools and anganwadis at the camps. A movie is screened on every evening in the camps for entertainment". From today, I have started holding "Nari Choupal" also from camp at Churiwala Dhanna. I go and speak to kids & ladies regarding general issues added Isha Kalia.

  Isha Kalia further said "We are monitoring the status of the relief camps and the requirements needed there on a whattasapp group, besides holding meetings. I am personally visiting the camps on daily basis. My district officers are working with zeal and taken it as mission".
