We helped around 25 to 30 such students. Thereafter, throughout the entire day, we recieved good response from the Gujarati community in taking forward our initiative."

"We have set aside two warehouses in Warsaw, where we can accommodate around 250 to 300 persons. Besides that, many Gujarati families have opened up their doors for help. The BAPS institution's centres in Poland do not have cooking facilities, so a special Food Van has been called from the BAPS in Paris to provide food to the people," he said.
"The Sindhi community in the country has also come forward and assured of providing food and shelter to around 150 people. Similarly, the Gurudwara here has also made arrangements for providing food and accommodation to 50. In all, we can accommodate around 750 persons," added Patel.
"Right now, throughout the day, after I shared a video on social media, around hundred people, coming from Ukraine, contacted me and of them 8 to 15 people are on their way. Our team members are there on the Polish-Ukrainian border to assist the Indians who are entering Poland and they will provide them all the necessary help," he said.
"I urge to those who are on the way to Poland, please be assured that you will be taken care of and not to worry about anything," Patel asserted.
