‘My top priority is to provide ration to all’: Chaudhary Surinder, Kartarpur

I am active on social media a lot these days and have been posting messages to follow social distancing norms to avoid contracting Covid-19. I have been posting messages on WhatsApp and other sites because I know how important it is to adopt hand washing, maintaining distance and wearing masks. This will be the norm for quite some time in future too till the time this problem is with us. I am more worried about people living in villages but I have been guiding them.

My priority is to provide ration to every household in my constituency. Today, also, I am going to distribute packets to nearly 12 villages. I make sure I stay in the field to listen to the problem of people. Also, there is a big concern right now for me about several people who don’t have smart cards. So, there is a problem in giving them ration. But I have been taking help from NRIs and other good Samaritans so that no one suffers amid the pandemic.

Otherwise, if I talk about my routine, after reading newspapers in the morning, I start calling my team members to know where there is a need for distributing eatables and then I start the working in the field and giving essential things to the needy.
