Service to humanity sees no religion, caste or creed. This has always been true and has been validated even more during the pandemic when the whole of mankind has come together to fight a common enemy – COVID-19.
A group of Muslim youth, about 20 of them, have been working silently to help COVID-stricken people here under the umbrella of their Cuttack-based organisation ‘Cuttack Muslim Youth Association’ (CMYA).
“We have been helping people since the first wave. There is a marked difference between then and now. Now, lower-middle and middle-class people are suffering a lot. Some have lost their jobs. Some have faced a huge loss in business due to lockdown. They hesitate in asking for help. They are contacting us on our helpline numbers. We are providing them monthly ration secretly,” said Sakib Khan, Working President of CMYA.
