Maharashtra turns lodges, schools, sports complexes into covid-care facilities
MUMBAI: Thirty-eight year-old Taufiq Siddiqui, a resident of Mumbai’s Dharavi slum, keeps a list of grocery items on his phone. But when he steps out to shop, he buys only one item at a time, Siddiqui confessed. This, he says, gives him an excuse to step out of his shanty and breathe freely. Siddiqui's home comprises 220 sq.ft near Dharavi's Jama Masjid that he shares with his 12-member family. Amid the lockdown, he says, finding a place to even sit has become tough.
