"With the help and support of BJP MLA of Versova, Bharati Lavekar, we are distributing food among 700-800 migrant workers and other needy people in slums of Andheri. We give them food twice a day while maintaining social distancing," Pathak told .

"Our party workers are also distributing food packets to the houses of those who can not come here to take food," he added.

A migrant worker Dilip Sahu said that he receives food daily.

"I receive food daily here but I am facing some financial hardships. If lockdown was not imposed, I would have gone to my village. We are stuck here in Mumbai," he said.
