Sukhdev Dhaba, Gurudwaras, Mosques, Good Samaritans Come Forward To Help Protesting Farmers

As the farmers' march slowly makes its way to Delhi, the protesters are receiving widespread support from the public.

Many have own their own come forward to help the farmers who are in Delhi or are on their way to the national capital for the protests.

A couple of good Samaritans are also offering free 'langar sewa' or community kitchen food there to ensure that no protesters go hungry.

Even though farmers from Punjab and Haryana, who have rallied at Tikari and Singhu borders as well as Burari, have brought along their own dry provisions and other essentials to prepare food in community kitchens (langar) for the protesters, there are people who don't have any arrangements for meals during the agitation.

The good Samaritans from across Delhi have been visiting the Burari ground, also known as Nirankari ground, bringing along cooked food so that no one goes hungry.

'We have been serving 'langar' to the poor in Delhi in the past. But since it was the need of the hour, we have come to the Burari ground to serve food to whosoever wants. If needed, we will come here again,' Parvinder Singh, a volunteer with 'Guru Ki Langar Sewa' NGO that has been feeding the hungry since 1987, told IANS.

Several Gurudwaras on the way to Delhi and in the national capital are also doing the same. Some are also arranging accommodations for the farmers who are coming from Punjab.

The Bangla Sahib gurudwara set up a ‘langar' to feed the protesters. Delhi's Aam Aadmi Party government had also made provisions for food. An e-rickshaw moved around spreading awareness about the COVID-19 pandemic and the importance of wearing masks.

Many Mosques in Delhi have organized food for the farmers arriving from Punjab and other states.

According to reports, at least 25 mosques in Delhi are also geared up to host the farmers for the night stay.

Charities like Khalsa Aid have also been involved in serving free langar to the protesters.
