Bengaluru, Mar 28: Karnataka Director General of Police Praveen Sood on Saturday asked philanthropists who want to support the poor during the lockdown to leave food at the nearby police station, who will ensure that it reaches the needy.
The DGP has asked the Bengaluru City police Commissioner to take steps in this regard and ensure fair distribution.
"All philanthropists, in case you want to support poor. Leave cooked, packed, simple food at the police station and it will reach poor. @CPBlr pl announce a nodal officer for deciding the police station for fair distribution," Sood wrote on his official twitter handle.

"Sandeep Patil, IPS, Joint Commissioner, CRIME at 9480801011 is the officer nominated from Bangalore City Police to receive and acknowledge donation of food and consumables for distribution to police and those in need," Rao tweeted.
Meanwhile, the city police has also initiated measures to take those in critical medical emergency to the nearest medical facility.
"We @BlrCityPolice are at your service 24/7 to take you to nearest medical facility in critical medical emergency, dialysis, chemo, emergent heart issues etc PLEASE CALL 100 Misuse may affect someones life! Be responsible #CoronaLockdown is National Duty #Covid19India," Additional Commissioner of Police (Administration), Bengaluru, Hemant Nimbalkar tweeted.
Bengaluru police's initiative of distributing food, snacks, water and certain essential requirements to those in need has received wide appreciation.

BJP will get more 200 votes and Yediyurappa will be next CM. This is already finalised and Yediyurappa has been told this by one Mawlwi who was asked by him to do some black magic at his home. Yediyurappa should camp in Bangalore and do the preparation for oath taking ceremony. Yediyurappa is the beloved leader of Karnata people as he did lots of good things to people while he was CM. He was sent to jail due to wrong allegation though he was innocent. He is very pious and religious person and always thinks for good things to people. He respects people from all religions and hence people for all religion respect and love him. Karnataka will be number one state in India if Yediyurappa comes to power. Only he can solve Kaveri + Mhadevi + Belgaum + Kasargod issues.
The last wish of life which cannot fulfil.
