Show of warmth: NGOs step in, provide winter wear and blankets to homeless

To ease their pain, some good samaritans and NGOs have stepped in to make the winter a bit warmer. For instance, Mohammed Ibrahim Akram, who runs a chain of restaurants in the city, has been contributing winter wear and blankets.

According to Ibrahim, a destitute person even passed away due to persistent health issues after struggling in this cold.
