A group of workers from Nagaland, who ran out of rations and money get help from the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) officials and police. The Hindu has reported.
It began with a tweet by an indigenous people’s activist with a photograph of six persons: “Please help our brothers and sisters they’re from Nagaland.” It had a few names, a phone number and a poignant selfie with all the six in the frame.
“We work in a nearby salon. I came to Hyderabad five months ago. One more person joined us last month. With the salon shut, we exhausted our savings as well as rations. We didn’t see any other option,” said Bae Ezang, who lives at Road No. 12, Banjara Hills.
The news report mentioned that as the news of their plight spread, the zonal commissioner of Khairatabad tweeted within two hours: “Complaint attended by our UCD wing and issue resolved.”
“We got six kg rice and ₹500 each and that should take care of our immediate needs. We received a number of calls and offers of help too,” said Mudoduyi Venuh, who hails from Dimapur.
