Hyderabad: In a bid to help the poor during this pandemic and particularly the lockdown period, legal services authorities in Nalgonda district had successfully roped in NGOs, revenue, police, and jail authorities to start community kitchens to serve the poor effectively.
Adhering to the lockdown norms, the cooking part was handed over to the jail authorities where space and manpower are available to cook in larger quantities.
They are sending it to various food distribution centres near hospitals, Covid care centres, etc where the patients and their attendants are struggling to stay alive. This effort, according to Nalgonda district legal services authority (DLSA) secretary G Venu, is saving several people from starvation.
Nalgonda NRI.org NGO is helping the authorities with this task. They also came out with a new idea to request all those families in the city who can afford to prepare and give one food packet a day to do so. These packets would be collected and sent to various distribution centres. Similar food distribution centres were set up in Miryalaguda, Suryapet, etc also by the DLSA .
Recalling the order passed by the high court, asking the state and civic bodies to tie up with NGOs to set up community kitchen, the DLSA secretary said their appeal to people and authorities to come forward to fulfill this directive has become fruitful with many people coming forward to help the poor.
