Maragani Rambabu, the 36-year-old former Principal along with his wife runs the food cart serving hot breakfast.
Rambabu told ANI, "I used to be a Principal but after the lockdown was announced, the school management decided that they do not need a Principal till the school reopens. I did not have any other source of income to feed my family. So my wife and I decided to start the thela. We now sell idli, vada and dosa for breakfast now."
