Guwahati’s favourite oriental cuisine restaurant, Oriental Bistro, has been continuously helping the needy amid the COVID-19 pandemic-induced lockdown in the city since last year.

The popular restaurant served 200 food packets to the underprivileged sections of the society on May 27 while also helping them understand the need for maintaining basic hygiene during the pandemic.

On May 31, Oriental Bistro distributed 200 refreshment packets with water bottles to the on-duty traffic, police & paramilitary personnel who were continuously serving the people throughout the pandemic.

Appreciating the initiative, ACP Dispur Himanghsu Das said: “I am happy that people understand our hardship and are coming forward to help. We appreciate this gesture by Oriental Bistro.”

“This is a small token of gratitude towards the traffic, police and other paramilitary personnel who without any complaint stand guard for us. Wish we could do more during this time of crisis,” said restaurant manager Rajat Pal.
