Socialist Party (India) Lucknow unit has now decided to start community kitchens as we expect the lockdown to extend for some more time. The first one has started today, 4/4/20, in Dubagga by Zeenat, the organisational secretary of Party, and soon we’ll start a few more.
The Socialist Party (India) is carrying out its relief work in Delhi through Rahnuma Foundation with which the Delhi state President Syed Tahseen Ahmad is associated.
5 kg flour, 2 kg potato, 1 kg onion packets given to 78 families at Sector P, BSUP Housing, Vasant Kunj, Dubagga through Khwahish, 9580326601, Suresh, 7054395637, Zeenat, 9455104627, Asha, 7518920200.

About 200 families benefitted at 2 sites in Para and at Haider Canal, Purvideen Kheda, 4 extremely poor families of Rajkumari, Ram Pyari, Baby and one more woman were given free packet of vegetables.
Yesterday, flour and vegetables were delivered to Md. Ismail, a mason from Sultanpur stuck in Lucknow with 3 other family members living in a temporary shelter in Nishatganj and pulses, oil, etc. were provided at a shelter home for homeless in Aishbagh with 12 inmates run by our colleague Sharad Patel.
In order to ensure that no person in India goes hungry or faces economic ruin due to the 21-day lockdown announced on Tuesday, it is imperative that the government take immediate, extensive and wide-ranging measures.
The Socialist Party (India), Lucknow District President Salman Raini is involved in relief work to help daily wage workers, homeless on streets, patients or their caretakers outside hospitals.
