When sisters, Anupama Singh and Neelima Singh from Bihar witnessed a family member testing Covid positive, they gained deeper insight into the troubles faced by patients. 32-year-old Anupama and 26-year-old Neelima realised that Covid positive patients in isolation find it difficult to get meals while staying in self isolation. That’s when the two sisters along with their mother Kundan Devi used all their savings to deliver free food to Covid positive patients in the city. Anupama and Kundan cook meals and ensure Covid safe packaging. Neelima rides across the city and delivers them to the doorstep of infected patients. Here’s their journey.
