Hyderabad: Siasat readers are the foundation of voluntary services of Siasat and every reader of Siasat plays a key role in voluntary services rendered by Siasat. Mr. Zahed Ali Khan paid tributes to Siasat readers while addressing the inauguration function of ‘Kapda Bank’ set up at the 3rd floor of Abid Ali Khan Eye Hospital, Darushifa. He told that NRIs, despite residing far from the motherland, show concern for their countrymen. They try to satisfy needs of their countrymen in every possible way. Mr. Khan revealed that Siasat Daily has set up ‘Kapda Bank’, in collaboration with Faiz-e-Aam Trust and Helping Hand Foundation, which will provide ‘Kapda’ (clothes) to every needy person of the city irrespective of religion.
It is a bank with a difference as it does not deal in money, but in clothes, one of the basic human needs after food and shelter. The main objective of the ‘Kapda bank’ is to provide clothes to poor and needy people facing great hardship, indignity besides health risk due to lack of proper clothing in the city.

He further informed that Siasat has plans to provide ‘food and clothing’ which will be made possible with the donations of Siasat readers.
