Chandigarh 16th August:- "Hunger knows no friend but
its feeder". This Independence day BIG FM No.1 radio station of
the tricity and India’s largest private radio network, known for its innovative
programming and concepts and Robinhood Army, an organization working globally
towards curbing food wastage and eliminating hunger, together joined
hands for Freedom From Hunger. More than 55000 people
were distributed nutritious and healthy food. The initiative also witnessed a
great support from many corporate houses and individuals.
Tricity
came out in huge numbers to volunteer for the cause and helped Big FM MJs
Vishesh Megha Gurri and Amar and the team of Robinhood Army led by Shivani
distribute the food items
Various
places were identified across Panchkula, Mohali and Chandigarh where malnourished
children, patients or laborers are found in huge numbers. After identifying the
places on 14th and 15th August the drive was started since early morning hours
near Mansa Devi Complex and later spread across the slum areas of sector 14
Panchkula, PGI, GMCH sector 32, various Snehalyas, Bal Sadans Orphanages, cycle
and rickshaw stands, slum areas near airport chowk and near Dara studios.
India
being the world 2nd largest country in food production is still facing the
challenge of malnourished children and youngsters or people not having enough
to support them for food. These kind of initiatives certainly bring in
forefront the awareness about the cause and how collectively we need to come
together to support the same.
The
team of Big FM and Robinhood Army also visited Paraplegic rehabilitation Centre
Mohali and saluted the spirit of the officers and Jawans of Defence and
Paramilitary Forces who have suffered physical losses during various operations.
