In April, restaurateur Neeti Goel was driving through Wadala with friend and actor Sonu Sood when they saw a group of around 500 migrants under the Eastern Express Highway. They decided to stop the car and talk to them. Some of them, they learnt, had not eaten in the last 18 hours, but were determined to walk home to their villages in Karnataka because work and supplies had run out in Mumbai. "We convinced them to stay put and offered to give them food until we figured out a way to organise transport for them," says Goel, who co-founded Khaana Chaiye, an initiative to distribute meals to the jobless and displaced migrants in the city during the lockdown.

"Sonu made a few calls to sort out permissions and I got in touch with an agency who was ready to give us 10 buses to take this group to Belgaum, provided we signed an indemnity bond to protect them from police curfews," says Goel.
