My friend and her family were infected with COVID-19 last week. With mandatory isolation and a lack of avenues to get vegetables, she was forced to step outside. She did break the law and norms that need to be observed in this deadly pandemic but she had no choice.
Like her, there are several citizens across the country infected with the coronavirus with no means to get access to groceries. For such people, the good Samaritans have risen once again to provide meals in a safe manner.
We have collated a list of individuals and organisations that are providing meals to people in different cities of India. Here’s a city-wise list:
