'535 migrant labour of Zone 9' of the Corporation has been added to our list of beneficiaries.
While they are getting some meals from other sources, other basic necessities are sorely lacking. These are people who were essentially herded from the 'Madras Central Railway Station' (they were looking to head back home) and put in community halls as a stop gap for the duration of the lockdown. Many of them have only one set of dress. The conditions are really very difficult.
Today, as a start we supplied around 500 sets of bedsheets and 100 large loaves of bread to supplement their current meagre food intake. We hope to do more over the coming days and have committed to supplying them with bread and other essentials.
In addition our regular quota of 1700 meals were supplied to various other Corporation Shelters and NGO's across the Greater Chennai Area.
Om Sri Gurubhyo Namaha!
