Anganwadi workers have been working at the forefront to help people amid the Covid crisis. They have been providing ration among people. Besides, they ensure that nobody suffers at this difficult time. The anganwadi workers said it was their duty to look after pregnant women and needy persons.

They have been visiting homes and ensuring that everyone gets ration. Besides, they have also been giving information of NRIs in their areas to the administration.

Gurpreet Kaur, an anganwari worker from Kartarpur, distributed ration among people on Wednesday. She said, “When everyone is facing a difficult time due to the coronavirus pandemic, I felt that it is my duty to contribute a bit. It feels satisfying when we help others. No matter what, we will keep on doing our work with every precaution,” she said, adding that they have to face some problems as well because sometimes people ask them to give extra ration or food, but they don’t understand that they provide everything according to the guidelines.

Krishna, another worker from Nurmahal, said they had been also ensuring that the newborn get proper vaccination at this time.

“We have been looking after pregnant women. At our own level, I visited some of the migrant workers and helped them. On humanitarian grounds, I have been ensuring that nobody suffers,” she added. Earlier, Nirlep Kaur from Phillaur had prepared some masks for those who could not afford the same.
