On Wednesday, the heart-wrenching story of a Mumbai vegetable vendor went viral. Ashok Singh, a 45-year-old vendor who sells at Bhendi Bazaar, was forced to shut shop amidst the heavy downpour in Mumbai. Singh's photo, captured by Sachin Haralkar, got the attention of many on social media. So much so that help started pouring in to the extent that as of 7 August, the vegetable vendor has reportedly received Rs 2 lakhs in donation from well-wishers.
