The district administration has launched a web portal — www.asrcovid19helpline.in — to help residents find chemists, grocery and vegetable sellers in their respective areas. The initiative has been taken in view of the problems being faced by them to find contact numbers of shops that have been allowed home delivery of essential items.

By selecting their locality, the residents will be able to get the number of shops providing medicines, grocery items and vegetables, said DC Shivdular Singh Dhillon. He said the website would be updated daily and phone numbers of more shop owners would also be added. The DC said the services of Swiggy and Zomato were also being availed to provide essential items on the doorstep of residents.

At www.asrcovid19helpline. in, the residents can also file applications for curfew passes. Besides, instructions from the government, awareness material on the coronavirus and information regarding the timing of certain services will be provided.

The residents can also make donations through the portal to Red Cross to help fight the pandemic. — TNS
