Lucknow, April 19 -- As hundreds struggle to rebuild their lives after the devastating fire, an unlikely group has stepped forward as a lifeline-small kiosk owners and street vendors who have put aside a part of their daily earnings to feed the displaced. For the past few days, many of these vendors have not returned to their usual street corners where they run tea stalls, snack carts, and small kiosks. Instead, they have shifted base to the remains of the shanty, distributing food to the affected families. "I have not opened my stall since the fire," said Ramesh Kumar, a tea vendor who usually sets up near a busy Tedhipuliya crossing. "What business will I do when people here do not even have food to eat? Right now, feeding them is more important." Adding to the effort, Imran, who runs a biryani cart in Aminabad, has been cooking large vessels of rice and meat at home before bringing it to the site. "I sell biryani every day, but these last two days I am only serving it here," he said. "When I saw children asking for food, I could not go back to normal business." Suresh, a samosa seller from Aliganj, said he has been frying batches since early morning and distributing them by noon. "I usually sell hundreds of samosas a day. Now I give them away here. Profit can wait, hunger cannot," he said. Nearby, Pappu, known for his roadside cutlet stall in Gomti Nagar, was seen handing out freshly made cutlets to children. "These kids remind me of my own," he said. Every morning, Jaikaran from Gomti Nagar, arrives carrying large containers of cooked food-biryani, By afternoon, he moves from one makeshift shelter to another, ensuring no one sleeps hungry. "For many fire-hit families, these meals have become a crucial support system," said Rahil Ahmad, a Sector 11 resident, who also distributes food. "We had nothing left, not even utensils," said Rama Devi, a woman whose hut was destroyed. "These people are feeding us like family. For us, they are no less than messiahs."...
