Rajkot: They are serving to humanity without expecting anything in return. Meet a group of corona warriors from Rajkot Municipal Corporation (RMC), who are working selflessly in war against Covid-19.
While some are engaged in making face masks and their free distribution, others have not seen their family members as they are on 24X7 duty since the beginning of the lockdown period in March last week.
“When Rohit Parmar said that he knew tailoring and that he could sew and make masks, we provided him with cloth. So far, Parmar has made 350 masks and donated them to the poor and needy,” said RMC commissioner Udit Agrawal.
Parmar, who serves as a technical assistant in the census department of the ward 18 of the RMC, said, “In such a time of crisis, I felt called upon to do something for the humanity.”
Like Parmar, Falguni Kalyani, who is the ward officer of the RMC ward 13, holds free distribution of masks among the poor and needy.
Then there is Dr Bhoomi Kamani, who has not seen her four-year-old twin daughters for the past one month. “I talk to my kids through video calling. When the numbers of Covid-19 positive cases are on the rise, how can I sit at home. My duty comes first before my family,” said Dr Kamani, who is the chief health officer of the RMC’s health department.
When it was realized that hand to hand contact was the prime reason for Covid-19 infection, a group consisting of RMC ward number 14 engineer H A Vasava, ward officer Hemadri Zala, assistant engineer Harshvijaysinh Gohil and work assistant Parth Parmar invented hand free sanitizer machine and hand free wash basin, both of which are operated through feet.
