GUWAHATI: Volunteers of the Robin Hood Army fed around 2600 poor hungry people on January 22, Tuesday with the leftover food from DC office in Amingaon where Rabha Election was held on Monday.
The food was collected by the volunteers and distributed at various locations across the city including Kamakhya railway station, Bhootnath, Don Bosco Church Panbazar and Guwahati railway station.
Moreover, one handi of plain rice (meant to serve 1200 people) was also served to Chatribari Gowshala to feed the cows.
The drive started at 10 am and ended at 3 pm.
"This was the third time that RHA received a call from DC office. Now every time we get a call from the DC office, we know that they must have wasted food in bulk. We don't understand why they prepare so much food even though it goes to waste each time. We wonder what they would have done with all this food had the RHA not been there," a volunteer of the army expressed, speaking to G Plus.
Overall, food meant to serve 4000 people was left over. While some of it got rotten by the time RHA volunteers reached the spot, rice meant for feeding 1200 people were left without any sabzi and hence was given to gowshala.
