Corona Fighter: With daughter in lap, woman braves all odds

Pragati Taida, who works in the electricity department in Bhopal has taken the front seat in the war against coronavirus as she carries her 6-month old daughter with her during the duty and makes sure that she does her duty with honesty amid the coronavirus scare.

Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Fighting all odds, Pragati Taida, an employee of the state electricity department is working tirelessly carrying her 6-month-old daughter with her.

At this time of crisis, when everyone is doing their bit to help the community fight the war against Coronavirus, Pragati makes it sure that electricity reaches every home and essential services are kept working.

Pragati not only does her duty with honesty but also takes special care of cleanliness and makes sure that she along with daughter is sanitised from time to time.

For Pragati to keep her daughter at home amid the crisis is not possible as all the 3 members of her family including her husband and mother-in-law works in the government sector and her husband is posted at another place.

In an interview with ETV Bharat, Pragati said that being a contractual service employee, she was entitled to only 6 months of maternity leave and now on the expiration of the leave she has joined her services again.

However, amid the rising cases of coronavirus, Pragati is terrified about her daughter and family, but, as a responsible citizen, she is fulfilling her official duty as much as that of the duty of being a mother.

It is pertinent to mention that Pragati Taida is working in a sub-station located at Nayapura in Kolar. And she has been rendering her services there for the past 7 years.

But the present situation is the most challenging time for Pragati and her family. When she has not only to look after her 6-month-old daughter but has to diligently do her duty as well.
