ROLE MODELS

#CoronaWarriors #InThisTogether

"We had hordes of people coming days and we kept continuously cooking food for them... We welcomed all with smiles and folded hands, irrespective of caste, religion... My regular team of 17 'sevaks', including 11 cooks and other helpers were overworked but ensured a non-stop supply of fresh, piping hot food," says Baba Karnail Singh Khaira.

For the last two months, 81-year-old Khaira has been serving meals free of cost to scores of travellers on the National Highway-7. His ramshackle tin shed with plastic sheets is the only spot that serves meals on a stretch of nearly 450 km.

"This is a remote, tribal region. Behind us for nearly 150-km, and ahead for nearly 300 km, there's not a single dhaba or restaurant... So most people prefer to halt at 'Guru ka langar' and avail of our round-the-clock services," says Khaira.

And that's not all. The compassionate man has also been feeding chapati-jaggery daily to over 250 hungry stray animals in the vicinity, including dogs, cats and cows.
