The owner of a Bandra restaurant has turned saviour for many elderly people in the suburb, who are incapacitated, or bed-ridden, or staying alone. The restrictions due to the pandemic have made them prisoners in their homes. Unable to step out to the market or even get help in some cases, they are grateful for Vik Khatwani’s helping hand as he has used his restaurant, Earth Café, to provide free meals to them.

Khatwani said, “Some senior citizens some are bed-ridden and their children are settled abroad. In some cases, a nurse or helper cannot return to take care of them.”
