On March 28, a group of citizens came together to launch a Workers' Dhaba. Their aim was to distribute food among the unorganised and migrant workers left rudderless by the abrupt 21-day nationwide lockdown. Manned by three cooks and scores of volunteers, the community kitchen functions from Delhi University's north campus. "We are consistently trying to make this lockdown less painful for the working-class people and without the love and contribution made by our well-wishers, this task would have been a difficult task," says the Workers' Dhaba Facebook page.
