Rishikesh. Not only during the crisis period, but the pilgrims have always been sensitive on every sensitive issue. It has been a time of natural calamity or it has been the time of helping the needy in the destitute in some form or the other. In front of his encouragement, every crisis has to be suffocated many times. In the Corona crisis, we are talking about the group of youths who have pioneered food fora by making food fronts, especially for the patients of the patients admitted in the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Rishikesh.
Local vigilante Vineet Jain, the motivator of Food Morcha, worked in the lockdown last year to provide ration kits to many needy with the help of his friends. For this he chose 15 friends of his batch in the school. His elder brother became Ravi Kumar Jain in this work. This Karmayogi fellow of the 1995 batch joined his Food Morcha at Sri Bharat Mandir Inter College.
Among them, there are two friends who are helping in Singapore and Texas. Many partners are in Ghaziabad, Delhi, Dehradun. When the Corona crisis period came to an end last year, their food front took rest. Now when the second wave of Corona is affecting everyone everywhere, in such a situation, Vineet Jain and his colleagues reactivated the food front. He created a WhatsApp group called Food Morcha.
Vineet Jain told that OPD is closed at All India Institute of Medical Sciences Rishikesh. A large number of corona infected serious patients are admitted there. Their timbers are also present there. All dhabas and restaurants outside AIIMS are closed. In such a situation a food crisis occurred in front of them. He spoke to AIIMS director Professor Ravikant on this subject. He gave full support in this work. Not only this, the AIIMS has also made available space for distributing food to the timaradars as per the guidelines prescribed. Vineet Jain says that for the last 15 days he started giving food to the Timardars under the Food Front.
Within AIIMS, from where the anchor was used by the gurudwara, they are handing food packets to the needy. About one hundred and fifty packets are installed here every day. The Food Morcha team produces 250 packets per day. This team leaves on the main road after being retired from food distribution at AIIMS at one o’clock in the afternoon. Food packets are given to the poor destitute on the way. This journey of the food front ends every day by going to the Yatra bus stand. This team provides food to the needy where present. Pradeep Singh Jasl, Arpit Kukreja, Amar Gupta, Ankur Bharat Kukreja, Pravesh Kumar, Deepak Sondhi, Alok Gupta, Vashikaran Sharma, Sumit Marwah and Nishant Arora etc. are extending their support to this campaign.
