Gol gappa langar a hit at protest site
Description
On the eve of Christmas, a group of seven firemen from Sirsa in Haryana began distributing free ‘’gol gappa’’ at the farmers protesting at the Singhu border. The stock was over within half-an-hour. What prompted Surender Kamboj and his friends to start this novel langar was seeing a child loitering near a stall selling “gol gappa”. He asked the child what he wanted. “‘Gol gappa’ said the boy who did not have any money,” recalls the 33-year-old fire service personnel. What happened next amazed the child and the farmers in nearby trolleys. Kamboj and his friends from the Rania fire station bought the entire stock of the seller and started a ‘’gol gappa’’ langar at the spot.
