As you, all are aware that the India is going through a lockdown situation for fighting against Coronavirus Pandemic. As the lockdown was announced and enforced suddenly a large number of migrant laborers, workers and poor are stranded at various locations in Mumbai and throughout India. We understand this is a very difficult situation and most affected ones are the people from the slum and backward areas. Considering this, SPARSHA volunteers located in the effected areas are distributing dry ration to them. We are taking all the precautionary measures.
