ON WEDNESDAY one saw the humane side of Delhi at Safdarjung Hospital when many good Samaritans were found lending a helping hand to the relatives of the Meerut fire who have been waiting anxiously here since Tuesday morning.
“It’s our duty to help these victims in time of crisis. How can we forget the bomb blast that took place in Sarojini Nagar last year. At that time also we lent a helping hand.

There is already a tent set up where people are taking rest, we will be putting up another tent. Fifteen more beds have been arranged for relatives of the patients,” said Ashok Randhava, who has a shop of bedsheets in Sarojini Nagar.

Mr Randhava is not alone in his mission. He is joined by Ravinder Kumar Sahani and Sanjeev Sharma.

“If someone is in need of blood, we are ready to help. There are more people with us who would like to donate blood,” said Ravinder, who has a sweets shop in Munirka.

Sanjeev added, “My house is nearby. All those people who do not have any relative in Delhi can stay at my place. I have told this to the medical superintendent. The condition of relatives of victims is also bad. They have been here since Monday. And they are not being able to take proper rest too.” The victims’ relatives at the hospital too were satisfied with those lending them a helping hand.

“These people are themselves coming to us and giving us food and water. They have also made arrangements for tea and coffee. We are very thankful to them. Our only concern is the health of the people who are inside,” said relative of one victim.
