Pune, 9th September 2022: The initiative of the Lions Club to provide healthy food to the police personnel deployed for the security of the citizens for 25-30 hours consecutively during Ganesh Visarjan is commendable.

Around 2,000-2,500 police personnel, home guards, police friends and volunteers of the National Art Academy wearing rangoli shoes are given fresh and nutritious meals in packets. Besides, 800 to 1000 people eat at the centre. There are homemade dishes like stewed vegetables, pulao, pickles and barfi.
