NOIDA: Qutubuddin, a 35-year-old barber from Badaun, came to Noida with his family a year ago in search of work. When the pandemic hit, he didn’t have any resources to earn a livelihood. However, he managed to get a ration card issued in his name and has been getting free food since then.
“I am a roadside barber. Thanks to the ration card, we haven’t faced a food crisis. We have been getting free rice and wheat. I have picked up ration multiple times now,” said Qutibuddin who now lives in Bangel. Like Qutubuddin, there are numerous others in a similar situation.
