Whether it’s a lockdown, Covid, communal tension, Hijab issue or the saffron issue, here in Udupi, a hotel owner never stops feeding hungry stomachs.

Nazeer Ahmad, who runs a hotel in Udupi called Zaiton, prepares at least 4 kg extra rice every day in the afternoon and night to feed labourers, beggars, migrated people and whoever is in need of food.

Mr Nazeer Ahmad feeds the needy regardless of their caste and religion. He says, “humanity comes first. Being a member of 11 brothers and sisters family, we faced such situations without food, that’s the reason when I’m capable, I never stopped feeding needy people from last ten years.”

Many migrated, needy, poor people called him the “Bhagwan” (god). One of the workers who migrated from Bagalkote in search of a job calls him his god. He stated that he has been eating free food for the last three months in his hotel without paying any money. (ANI)
