Groceries for needy families in various regions in Karnataka during lockdown – April 2020
In Ramamurthy Nagar – East Bengaluru, 20 more needy families of construction workers who did not get their daily wages due to lockdown, were provided with groceries after reaching out to 14 needy families earlier in the previous month. Similarly, in Rajarajeshwarinagar area of Bengaluru, close to 11 needy families received groceries and in Whitefield, 40 needy families who work as daily house maids received ample vegetables and fruits, which had been expensive due to demand and supply gap in the lockdown.
In other districts like Hubballi, 30 families received groceries and over 100 families in Sidlaghatta town in Chikkaballapur district, most of them work as labourers in Brick factory with daily wages, received essential groceries. In Dakshina Kannada, 180 needy families who have been Annapoorna Breakfast beneficiaries, received food grains. Due to the lockdown situation, these families who do not get their daily wages were finding it difficult to make their ends meet.
