Individuals, families and groups are coming forward to arrange food for protesting farmers at Delhi-Ghazipur border. And four-year-old Rehaan was among those who came today. He came with his father to help distribute biscuits and bananas to the protesting farmers.
Rehaan's father Mehtab Alam said he has been coming to the site of protest daily from nearby Vaishali.
"We are distributing snacks as I come from a farmer's family in Bihar. There are so many farmers and we felt they must be facing problems so we try to come to the venue daily and help them," Alam told ANI.
Alam said has been coming to the protest venue to distribute food items to protesting farmers for almost past 10 days.
