It began on April 17. Buns and bananas are distributed everyday at 7 am at Victory Play Ground, Chaderghat.
“The response was overwhelming and scores of people have come forward to contribute to the cause”, share Madan Mohan Lal, G Maddulete and D Ramchandram, the assistant regional Grand Masters of Freemasons of Telangana.
