  • The COVID-19 pandemic has taken a turn for the worse in India with cases rising every day.
  • Amidst all the gloom, people from all walks of life are coming forward to help COVID-19 affected people.
  • Here are some of the Good Samaritans who are taking the time to help others.
The COVID-19 pandemic in India is going from bad to worse with each passing day and the state seems to have forsaken its people in these testing times. But all hope is not lost, as volunteers from across the country have come forward to help fellow Indians fight the COVID-19 battle.

While social media has usually been lampooned for being a vector for trolling or spreading fake news, people across India have been using Twitter and Facebook as a SOS medium. Even hospitals have had to resort to Twitter to send out their SOS messages, demonstrating just how bad the situation is.

While everything seems gloomy, as if the doomsday is here, groups of common people are offering a helping hand to do whatever they can to help others in need.

In this story, we take a look at some of those kind souls. You can get in touch with them, if you need help or if you want to help others.
