Days after a mango seller’s crates were plundered and looted by people in Delhi’s Jagatpuri, the fruit-seller received a generous and overwhelming contribution from people worth Rs 8 lakh.
The vendor had suffered a loss of nearly Rs 30,000 when the mangoes were looted. NDTV had shared the fruit-seller’s bank account details on their channel and received hundreds of donations after the story was published on Friday.
