These volunteers ensure that nobody goes hungry

The needy can pick food packets and water bottles

Those who pass by Vasantha Nagar here can notice a small table with a few food packets and water bottles. On top of it is a banner which reads ‘Pasikkiradha? Eduthu Kollungal’ (Hungry? Take it). Padikkatuggal, a non-governmental organisation comprising students and staff of various colleges, has been distributing free food packets and water bottles to the public since Monday. S. Malaisamy, one of its coordinators, said a volunteer would be present near the table to guide those who come to pick up the food packets.
