The nationwide lockdown that has left daily wage earners without a source of livelihood has prompted Bollywood star Priyanka Chopra to do her bit for Jamshedpur, her place of birth. Munnu Akhouri, 55, Priyanka’s aunt and a resident of M-Type area in Adityapur, has been distributing bagfuls of rice and potato to the needy. Akhouri said she was distributing the rice and potato among the poor women on behalf of Priyanka and her cousins, all of whom live in the US. “Priyanka has sent me money and asked me to distribute rice and potato to those who are out of work and fighting hunger. I have bought two tonnes of rice and one tonne of potato to begin with,” said Akhouri, Priyanka’s maternal aunt.
