1991 batch of Guwahati school now connect daily to serve free mealsFour batchmates of a school in western Guwahati’s Maligaon area have “reunited” for a common cause — to serve free home-cooked meals for people in quarantine or home isolation due to COVID-19 infection. Jayashree Choudhury, Ashok Sen, Basab Bhattacharjee and Amitabh Choudhury are from the 1991 batch of students of the Bengali-medium Netaji Vidyapith Railway Higher Secondary School. The friends knew how difficult life could be in isolation or during recovery from COVID-19. They have so far served 800 meals, and they intend to carry on as long as people need their free service. “What are friends, families, neighbours, acquaintances and strangers for if they cannot help each other in times of distress?” Mr. Bhattacharjee said.
