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.
