The nation has been under lockdown for 19 days now, to curtail the spread of COVID-19. During this time, a mother from Mumbai, with an autistic child who suffers from severe food allergies, ran out of camel milk.
The child's mother, Neha Kumari, took to Twitter to hunt for camel milk as her son survives only on that and limited pulses. She didn't have enough in stock to last her the entire lockdown period.

He survives on Camel Milk and limited qty of pulses. When lockdown started I didn¡¯t have enough camel milk to last this long. Help me get Camel Milk or its powder from Sadri(Rajasthan)'.
