"I did this during the last lockdown too. I decided to do it again when the lockdown was reimposed. I have been doing this for the past 15 days. 1000-1100 food packets have been prepared. People are also given bottles of water, sanitiser, and face mask," Gaurav told ANI.

"I saw the daily-wage labourers, people have been stuck and they have not been able to go t0 their homes, I felt a bit sad seeing that so I decided to serve them. I'll do it till the lockdown remains in place," he added.
