Nawanshahr, April 11
In a unique initiative to help village women, the Nawanshahr Police’s Helping Hand organisation in collaboration with Awaaz, an NGO, on Friday launched two helpline numbers — 96455-07474 and 96452-76499 — for providing sanitary napkins on their doorstep amid the curfew.

Launching the initiative, SSP Nawanshahr Alka Meena distributed sanitary napkins in slum areas near Dana Mandi here among women from families of migrant laborers. She said amid the curfew, it is important for women to maintain hygiene and take care of their essentials. “Initially, 20,000 pads have been distributed free of cost among poor women and financially capable women will be charged for these,” she said.
She said helpline numbers were being operated by women police staff, so women ordering napkins do not have to hesitate and may place their orders freely. — OC
