A senior-citizen couple from Delhi, Rajni Verma and her husband, Chandra Prakash felt disturbed after seeing the visuals of a relief camp at Mayur Vihar.

Wanting to do their duty, they got 500 food packets and came there to feed people.

Qasim from Trilokpuri got his 20 friends together, contributed money, and started bringing food in their tempo. Siblings, Rakshit and Deepanshu David got packaged snacks like Frooti, chips, and chocolates to feed children.

For people living on Noida Link Stretch, they made a huge difference as food had become a major issue and long queues were seen throughout.

The spouse stopped at various tents and provided food packets. Rajni said, 'We got 500 packets of chole kulcha made to distribute...my son was going to office when he saw people living on road who had been rescued from near the low-lying areas of Yamuna. We felt we had to do something for them since there would be no way they could cook.'

For David's siblings who teach Psychology and run a coaching centre, the fact that they lived in Mayur Vihar Phase-3 and also had their farms near the Yamuna made them come out to help the needy.

They realized that the children must be in deep trouble in such areas. Hence, they distributed things like chips, namkeen, chocolate and juices so that they can meet their hunger needs. Similarly, food was distributed in different blocks. With two tempos with huge containers filled, Qasim along with his friends distributed poor bhaji to several people.

Refugee camps were visited by several students and youth-led NGOs. Members of these institutions tried to raise funds for the evacuees here.

A 30-day long food drive is going to be conducted by the club which will include delivery of proper meals to the families here. The aim is to support families at maximum capacity.

The members of the Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Management Committee had taken up the responsibility to provide two meals a day. It is also going to be ensured by some committees to feed people from the temple's langar.

Many people are being seen distributing packets of bananas, tea, juices, etc.
