Following a report in mid-day on the challenges being faced by flower and candle vendors outside various religious places across the city, Bhamla Foundation through its Covid-19 war room reached out to three families at the Mahim church and dargah and provided ration kits. The organisation has also promised to supply rations kits to them for the period the religious places are shut.  
 
According to Bhamla Foundation, after reading mid-day’s report on June 10, they sent a team of volunteers to the locations and distributed ration kits among three families.
