What makes the occasion doubly special is that the Ansari siblings, children of ragpickers, are meeting each other after a gap of five long years


In a stellar example of religious harmony, Fatima, 18, and Salman Ansari, 15, celebrate Raksha Bandhan with much zeal on Sunday. What makes the occasion doubly special is that the Ansari siblings, children of ragpickers, are meeting each other after a gap of five long years. Due to the Rey Road family's poor financial and living conditions, the brother and sister have been staying in separate shelter homes for better opportunities and a child-friendly atmosphere.

The organisation 'Our Children', which works with different shelter homes, had organised the event, where many siblings got the opportunity to spend time with each other after long.
