Students’ Sehri delivery initiative supports widowed women in Hyderabad

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: The city of Hyderabad is one of the busiest cities of India and several outsiders live here in rented accommodations or hostels. During the holy month of Ramzan, those who live in rented accommodations find it difficult to cook Sehri for themselves. Along with various Hyderabadis, most of these outsiders also rely on eateries that provide Sehri. In this write-up, we will tell about a group of Hyderabadi students who have started delivering homemade Sehri to those who fast during the Ramzan.
Yes, as several eateries and online food delivery applications provide Sehri and Iftari during the holy month of Ramzan to Muslims, a group of four students came up with a unique idea of delivering homemade food. Talking to Siasat.com, Zainab Riyaz, one of these four students said, ”We at Sehri.in want to provide people with simple and home-cooked food at sehri timing so that they can’t feel thirsty the whole day. We serve almost all the dishes which other eateries serve in the city during sehri timings but we prepare it in a home style.”
She further said, “We have hired a widow woman to prepare the food. We prepare it at home and we don’t run any eatery. Our motive is to serve only during Ramzan right now.”

Zainab Riyaz along with her brother Abdul Razzaq and two friends Aadil Shakeel and Abdul Rehman Jameel have come up with the idea of serving people with healthy food which is prepared at home. All these four students are delivering the Sehri to the people by themselves.
”Three of us are delivering food while another one is taking orders. If we receive more orders any day then we take the help of our other friends or known persons to help people have their sehri on time. We deliver within 5 km of range of Nampally, Gachibowli, Banjara Hills, Jubilee Hills and Masab Tank area of the city. We are looking forward to delivering sehri across the whole city from next Ramzan,” she added.
“We are committed to supporting widowed women by offering employment opportunities starting from the next Ramzan. Through this initiative, we aim to empower these women to become financially independent while we continue to serve homemade sehri to our customers. Our goal is to promote self-sufficiency and empower individuals in our community.” Zainab concluded.

Hyderabad: End Raja Singh’s ‘Anarchic Raj’ in Goshamahal, says BRS

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) Hyderabad district incharge Dasoju Sravan on Sunday said the public should re-elect BRS in the upcoming Assembly elections and put an end to the ‘Anarchic Raj’ of suspended BJP leader T Raja Singh in the Goshamahal constituency.
Speaking at the party ‘Athmeeya Sammelan’ at Boggulakunta, he said that Raja Singh, MLA of Goshamahal, is more focused on spreading BJP’s hate politics in the state rather than development work in his constituency.
“People belonging to various cultures, regions and religions live in Goshamahal reflecting the unity in diversity of our nation. It is disheartening that Raja Singh, who is the face of BJP’s communal politics is representing this constituency in Telangana Assembly, a disgrace,” remarked Sravan.

He said that CM K Chandrashekar Rao is turning a drought-hit Telangana into a prosperous and progressive state by working round the clock and dedicating his entire life for the state. “PM Modi and his partymen are leaving no stone unturned to create communal tensions in Telangana and obstruct its development,” he added.
He said that the time has arrived to choose between KCR’s BRS which strives for the welfare of people belonging to all sections and religions and Modi’s BJP which is obstructing development and breaking the backs of people, riding on communal politics.
“While BRS MLAs are busy implementing the schemes introduced by KCR like Dalit Bandhu, Rythu Bandhu, Kalyana Lakshmi, Shaadi Mubarak, KCR kits, Basti Dawakhanas, Aasara pensions and others in their constituency, Goshamahal MLA Raja Singh does not even have time to attend Assembly,” said the BRS leader.
He said that Raja Singh neither takes up nor attends development works in his constituency. “I wonder why he has become an MLA,” said Sravan.
He said that the Centre has been looting the common man while riding on religious sentiments and that it is high time people put an end to BJP’s ‘crooked politics’.

“PM Modi said that he will create two crore jobs per year. That means he has created 18 crore jobs till now. But not even 18 thousand jobs have been created till now,” he said.
He said that the price of LPG has been hiked from Rs 400 to Rs 1100, petrol and diesel prices have more than doubled in PM Modi’s tenure while the prices of all the essential commodities have skyrocketed.
“People belonging to all sections have been betrayed by PM Modi. and the BJP is now eyeing Telangana. Politically aware people of Telangana should put an end to PM Modi’s Sarkar at Centre and teach BJP a lesson, by electing KCR as the CM for the third time,” Sravan said.
