NEW DELHI: Two sisters dressed up as clowns are visiting shelters packed with Indian migrants, trying to bring a moment of levity to poor families stranded in cities where they can no longer afford rent or food.

Wearing red clown noses, bright wigs and baggy trousers, they delighted children by squeezing their noses, playing with a hula hoop and dancing to a popular Bollywood song."For a brief time, my mind is feeling a little bit free, it is getting diverted and I am not thinking about my problems," said Susheela Kumari, who comes from Uttar Pradesh.
