GHMC to feed poor on Valentine's Day

The GHMC has decided to celebrate Valentine’s Day by making sure that nobody goes hungry on February 14. The initiative, ‘Feed the Need’ is being taken up with assistance of city residents, hotels and other stakeholders.

The project will be run as a pilot on Thursday, and would be implemented on a large scale on important occasions like Gandhi Jayanti, Independence Day and Republic Day among others, GHMC officials said.

GHMC zonal commissioner Harichandana  Dasari said, “many NGOs and hoteliers expressed readiness to join hands with the GHMC in this noble cause. Apple Homes are providing public refrigerators and they would be placed at government hospitals and slums.”

She said Sree Shakthi Group of Hotels, Pista House and others had agreed to supply food packets for distribution among the poor.
