Jaunpur: A man in his twenties from Jaunpur district of Uttar Pradesh cycles around 60 km everyday from Mehendipur to surrounding villages to distribute milk to the poor children amid lockdown.
Rishi Yadav, who is winning accolades for this noble act from villagers as well as the children distributes around 50 to 60 litres of milk everyday to poor children.
As per reports, Yadav has been involved in the good deed from the very first day of lockdown, which came in the backdrop of coronavirus outbreak in the country.
As the nationwide lockdown nears a month, it has become a routine for Yadav to distribute milk to the children and hence, the kids can be seen waiting for him in queue following social distancing guidelines.
Ajori who meets Yadav everyday, said, " He has been supplying us milk everyday since the lockdown has been imposed. My family cannot afford milk for me and my siblings as they are poor."
Samajwadi party's national president Akhilesh Yadav has also appreciated his work and has tweeted about the same through his Twitter account. Rishi Yadav is also the district vice president of Yuvjan Sabha of the SP.
