LONDON: A UK-based Sikh charity has won praise for distributing water among passengers stranded at a British border crossing over the weekend.

Khalsa Aid volunteers swung into action when they heard about 12-mile traffic pile-ups at the Dover port border crossing between Britain and France because of increased security checks in the wake of terror attacks across Europe as well as a school holiday exodus.

"People were pulling their hair out looking at the queues,” said Ravinder Singh, CEO of Khalsa Aid based at Slough in south-east England. His volunteers loaded up two vans with 6,000 bottles of water and cereal bars for passengers stranded for 15 hours on one of the hottest weekends in the UK.
