The acts of kindness from individuals during the lockdown are innumerable and difficult to quantify. Many were no more than just donors, but their contribution saved the day for the thousands stranded far from home.

Lockdown Challenge: How many hungry people are there in Bengaluru?

May 7, 2020 Mohit M Rao

The State had no plan to combat hunger. Authorities capable of verifying voter identity cards in every slum and ghetto in the City, failed to even gauge the scale of food insecurity triggered by the lockdown. The BBMP gave out only 68,000 ration kits whereas NGOs took up a bulk of the task of feeding the hungry. Nobody knows how many went hungry.
