As stranded migrants return home from distant lands, a sweet gesture by a group of locals in Bihar distributing food has been winning hearts online. In a video that has gone viral, they were seen handing out food packets when a special train carrying migrants made a brief stop in Begusarai region while on way to Mizoram.

The volunteers were also seen donning masks and PPEs. The clip even reached the chief minister of the north eastern state who shared the video.

“Goodness for goodness,” CM Zoramthanga wrote referring to a previous video where home-returning Mizo people had given away their food parcels to flood victims in Assam. “India is beautiful when flooded with Love,” the CM added sharing the message of positivity online.

For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return.”
