The ISKCON festival committee, Khanna, is gaining public praise for serving free food to Covid patients and their family members.

The food is being prepared at ISKCON Publicity Centre, Khanna, under the supervision of organisation members.

Around 150 thalis are being delivered daily to people. The main thing about the group is that all members are from various professions such as doctors, businessmen, government employees etc. From almost one week this service is going on where food is being delivered not only to people in home isolation but also in hospitals.

Pawan Sachdeva, chairman, ISKCON festival committee, Khanna, said in many cases the female member or the entire family is infected from Covid and they require home-cooked food. “We decided to serve food to Covid patients and their families who are in need and cannot cook food at their own. Daily we have been serving food to 150 persons. We will continue this initiative in future also,” they added.

General secretary Harwinder Shantu and press secretary Harish Gupta said whosoever requires food can contact at numbers 9780022316 and 9872846103 and they will supply hygienic and home-cooked food to them for free.

The chairman Sachdeva said the food is nothing short of prasad which is prepared by members with full dedication to do something for the mankind.
