NAVI MUMBAI: A 35-year-old homeless man, Vijay Kumar Rai, who had been helplessly sitting for two years on the pavement opposite St Xavier's College Chowk in south Mumbai, was recently rescued after a 17-year-old student of mass communication noticed his plight.
"I used to see this thin and ailing man (Rai) who could not even stand up on his own at the footpath, while going to college to attend my lectures. Some passersby would give him biscuits or vada-pav; but no one really had the time to properly help this homeless man," said the college student, Emmuna Philip, a New Panvel resident.
