Brothers Tazumal and Muzamul sell their shed to help poor during lockdown
Kolar: Two brothers from Harohalli Gardens in Kolar have reportedly sold their shed of 30ft X 40ft plot in Autonagar of Kolar to help provide essential supplies to the poor and migrant labourers who are facing difficulties due to the country-wide lockdown due to coronavirus. The two brothers are using Rs 20 lakh sale proceeds to supply provision to those in distress.
The brothers have been identified as Tazumal Pasha 42, and Muzamul Pasha 39. According to a Times of India report the two brothers said they came up hard way and know well that no sacrifice is enough when it comes to ensuring no one goes hungry.
“The Quran says Allah will give back in plenty if one sacrifices something for society. My brother and I have earned some money in the real estate business and it is time for us to pay back” TOI quoted them as saying.
Once the lockdown’s impact on the poor began to unravel, the brothers formed a group of 20 like-minded people who were keen on social service. After holding discussions with the group, the brothers decided that the best way to help was to provide groceries to the poor.
The brothers and their volunteers then sent out messages on WhatsApp groups saying groceries, enough to last for about 15 days for a family of five, would be delivered at the doorsteps of the needy by two-wheeler borne volunteers.
According to the brothers, each bag consists of 5kg rice, 2kg wheat flour, 1kg sugar, 1kg soji, 1kg edible oil, 2kg tur dal, a packet of tea powder, one bottle of sanitizer and a few masks and costs them about Rs 1,000. They said they have already spent the money they got by selling their shed and were now spending from their own pockets.
Muzamul said their gesture is being appreciated and several people in Kolar have come forward to join hands with them.

2nd WT20I: Shafali, spin trio do star turns in India''s seven-wicket win
Visakhapatnam (PTI): Shafali Verma hit a blistering unbeaten 69 as India made short work of a paltry target to outclass Sri Lanka by seven wickets in the second Women’s T20 International here on Tuesday.
India now lead the five-match series 2-0 after another one-sided victory, having restricted Sri Lanka to a modest 128 for 9 through a collective display of disciplined bowling from the spin trio of seasoned Sneh Rana, ably complemented by young spinners Vaishnavi Sharma and Shree Charani.
During the chase, vice-captain Smriti Mandhana (14) fell cheaply but Shafali, enjoying new found confidence after a stellar show in the World Cup final, sent the bowlers on a leather-hunt during her 34-ball knock, winning it for her team in just 11.5 overs.
The hosts have now completed back-to-back successful chases within 15 overs which speaks volumes about the unit's sky-high confidence.
Shafali's innings had 11 punchy boundaries apart from a maximum.
The floodgates opened when left-arm spinner Inoka Ranaweera bowled a few flighted deliveries and Shafali would step out everytime to hit her over extra cover. Her footwork against slow bowlers was immaculate whether stepping out to loft the ball or rocking back to punch or pull.
Seeing her confidence, the newly appointed Delhi Capitals skipper Jemimah Rodrigues (26 off 15 balls) also attacked as the duo added 58 runs in just 4.3 overs.
By the time Rodrigues was out trying to hit one six too many, the match as a contest was over. Shafali completed her half-century off just 27 balls and completed the formalities in a jiffy.
Earlier, off-spinner Rana, who got a look-in after Deepti Sharma was ruled out due to fever, showed her utility keeping the Lankan batters under tight leash with figures of 1 for 11 in 4 overs, including a maiden which certainly is a rarity in T20 cricket.
Charani, who made an impression during India's ODI World Cup triumph, took 2 for 23 in her quota of overs, while Vaishnavi after an impressive debut in the opening encounter, finished with 2 for 32, not letting the Islanders get easy runs in her second spell.
The last six wickets fell for just 24 runs, but what stood out during India’s bowling effort was their superb ground fielding. After a patchy show in the previous game, the improved sharpness in the field resulted in three run-outs.
Sri Lankan skipper Chamari Athapaththu (31 off 24 balls) looked in good nick as she deposited length deliveries from seamers Kranti Gaud and Arundhati Reddy over the ropes but it was Rana, who kept her quiet by repeatedly pitching on good length.
Unable to manoeuvre the strike and with the big hits suddenly drying up, Athapaththu chanced her arm at another delivery in which Rana had shortened the length slightly.
Not having transferred the weight into the lofted shot, Athapaththu's hoick was pouched cleanly by Amanjot Kaur at long-off.
This was after Athapaththu's opening partner Vishmi Gunaratne (1) had offered a simple return catch to Gaud.
Hasini Perera (22 off 28 balls) and Harshitha Samarawickrama (33 off 32 balls) did stitch a stand of 44 but they could never set the tempo against the Indian spin troika.
Once Hasini offered a tame return catch off a Charani full-toss, Sri Lankans never recovered and lost wickets in a heap towards the end.
