In the aftermath of the communal riots in North East Delhi that killed 43 and left hundreds of people homeless, various volunteer organisations and NGOs have come together to support residents of these neighbourhoods.

Asif Idrees, 23, a student currently pursuing his Masters in Spanish from JNU, has been part of the JNU Coordination Committee ever since the first night of violence that occurred on February 25. "We called for an immediate meeting on campus. There were 15 of us who attended it, and we decided to start a camp at Sabarmati Tea point inside the college campus," said Idrees.
