The message from the Provincial, the ex-officio of the Society
gave them more courage to act quickly. Since we did not have
vehicle of our own,we tried to get permission from the police department
to move out in vehicle to purchase and to distribute
Ration to the people but we did
not get. After some days we came to know that we can go to buy grains
from the wholesale market without any permission since we are the
members of the a Society. So the members went in the truck to purchase
grains from Kalamna Market which is 12 km away from us. The items
purchased - Rice, wheat, toor dhal, horse gram, oil, sugar, tea leaves,
chilly and saffron power in large quantity. All the members of the
Society spent their time and energy in making packets of
Rice 5 kg, Wheat 5 kg, Toor dhal
1 kg, Horse gram 1 kg, oil 1 lt, Sugar 1 kg, tea leaves 200 gm, chilly
and saffron powder 100 gms.
It took many days. The total number of grain kits were 755.
