It is the duty of Government to provide basic Universal income to all elderly people. It is their right. At such age we should not let them work beyond their capacity. Please let me know if there is any way to help her, I would love too.— Ajinkya Vyawahare (@vajinkya16) July 28, 2021

In 2020, we had seen a similar story of an octogenarian couple from Delhi who was unable to earn a living for themselves from their eatery. ‘Baba Ka Dhaba’ was the name of the eatery in Malviya Nagar, which had created a stir online. Interestingly, the video of the Amritsar lady’s juice stall was shared by the same food blogger who had earlier shared the ‘Baba Ka Dhaba’ video story.
