Borivli resident Mauris Noronha has once again gone out of his way to help the needy during the current COVID-19 restrictions. He had done so during the lockdown in 2020 and this time, besides distributing ration kits to people, he is also paying for refilling the LPG cylinders of 300 families and purchasing food from almost 170 street vendors to help them, and also to give it to those in need.

‘People are helpless’

The 45-year-old businessman and philanthropist, who moved back from the US before the lockdown in 2020, pays for everything himself. He said, “I hadn’t stopped my social work, but when the second wave started and the restrictions were put in place, I stepped out again to help, with some friends.” Noronha feels the restrictions impact society and people are helpless.
