And we are feeding langar to the refugees who come here. Warm clothes And we are giving whatever help they need immediately. Apart from this, we also take food to Ukraine. People walk around the cities for sixteen to seventeen hours and people collect there. There is nothing to eat there. All Something is closed there, so we anchor there too.

We are trying to make people drink tea and coffee," she says.

Nikul, the owner of one such truck, says, "I have a small business, we have two restaurants and a food truck. My wife is Polish, I have two young children, God forbid, if something happened here yesterday, then our As soon as others will be ready to help us."
Gurdayal explains, "In the last three-four days before us, seven-eight old women have fallen unconscious, we have picked them up and somehow managed them. The children who are vomiting in such cold, have become very bad. So when we came to know, we put up a tent here. It is almost ready now. Heaters are to be installed in it. We will also put tables and chairs in it so that people can sit for a while."
Dishita says in a conversation, "We are doing small help, like grabbing the luggage of an old man who is coming here, we are taking him to the queue. Somebody has a child in one hand, in the other hand. There is a blanket. Coming after walking for fifteen-twenty hours in the cold. There is no shortage of goods, people are getting food, but what is lacking is the help of people who carry these goods which are coming from many sources. , to be able to distribute property among the people."
The long and painful journey of thousands and thousands of people is still on, the arduous journey from the terrible cold and ruined home to the new refuge has become somewhat easier with the help of these Indian humanitarian activists.
