India is currently going through the toughest phase with novel coronavirus hitting everyone’s lives. The only thing that has kept everyone together is the united spirit to tackle this pandemic. The positive cases of the deadly virus have already crossed 7,000 out of which more than 1,000 cases are from Maharashtra. It is the most affected state in the country with a majority of positive cases in Mumbai. In such difficult times, Mr Varun Chibber has extended his full support by taking an initiative to distribute essential food grains in the underdeveloped areas of South Mumbai. Chibber is an entrepreneur, activist and philanthropist who took charge after understanding the situation and difficulties faced by people during the lockdown.
However, the lockdown in Maharashtra is now extended till April 30 as confirmed by the state CM Uddhav Thackeray. With Chibber’s initiative, nearly 2,000 households including low-income families, daily wage workers, and the sanitation and healthcare workers will be provided with adequate food and ration. When Chibber and his team learned about it, they instantly took the call to get ration in bulk. The distribution of food grains was done from Sassoon Dock, Shiv Shakti Nagar at Backbay, Darya Nagari and Sudham Jhopdi at Colaba. With taking all the necessary precautions, Varun’s team successfully helped out the needy people and have ensured to come up with more initiatives.
