The famed Amrik Sukhdev dhaba in Haryana's Murthal has opened its doors for protesting farmers heading to the national capital and has offered them free food.

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.
Each farmer contributed 2k cash for ration. The food will last for about 2-3 months. There is no restriction on who can eat here at Delhi-Haryana border. Fresh milk was brought in by locals for the farmers. Haryana Stands tall & proud with its farmers. pic.twitter.com/CrJtkQtR2n

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.
