Family members of Tapas Panda help pack the food for patients
BHUBANESWAR: With the number of Covid cases on the rise, and a large number of them in home isolation, several good Samaritans have come forward to provide home cooked meal for them, free of cost.
Tapas Kumar Panda, an associate professor of MBA at Utkal University and his wife Rajashree, a teacher, had started cooking food and delivering it to a few friends and relatives after they got infected and were in home quarantine. Later, they posted messages promising free food for Covid infected on social media and they started getting more and more requests. These days they are delivering over 400 food packets per day. In the past one month around 20 home chefs have joined hands with the Pandas and formed the group ‘Ek Aur Roti’.
