The good part of social media is up for display in the last couple of days as people shower their support for Baba Ka Dhaba local food stall in Delhi. After an overwhelming response to call for help for the owner of a small dhaba in Delhi facing a financial crisis, a similar appeal to support a chaat stall owner in Agra is now going viral. Netizens across social media platform are now pledging their support to help the business of the 90-year-old man.

Popular food blogger Dhanishtha (@a_tastetour) recently shared a video featuring a chaat wala from the UP town selling kanji badas for nearly 40 years whose business took a hit in the coronavirus lockdown. “Because of this pandemic he gets to earn only ₹250-₹300 in a day,” the blogger wrote on Instagram sharing his story.

Kanji Bade Vala:

Saying that he puts up his stall everyday in Professors Colony, Kamla Nagar in Agra, near Desire Bakery, the blogger informed he is there everyday from 5:30 pm onwards, urging locals to drop by.

The blogger’s efforts paid off, as many people visited the elderly man within a few hours of the post and some celebrities like Parineeti Chopra, Swara Bhaskar, Mohd. Zeeshan Ayyub among others also sharing it online.
