ETV Bharat Impact: Municipal workers get PPE kits in Ghaziabad

A social organisation came forward to support municipal workers after reading about their plight in ETV Bharat's report. It said that the workers were discharging their duties without any precautionary measures in Mohan Nagar of Ghaziabad.

Ghaziabad: ETV Bharat's reportage over the plight of municipal workers, who have been discharging their duties sans any discernible safety measures in Mohan Nagar, caught the attention of a social organisation operating in the area.

Recently, the organisation headed by one Ashok Kansal, came to the aid of municipal workers and distributed Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) kits.

The news-story caught the attention of the people as it highlighted the plight of the workers, reportedly deployed in a hotspot and were without any PPEs.

The workers even outlined their issues and said that they were scared of getting infected.

Ashok Kansal said: "After watching the news at ETV Bharat, I came to know that the sanitation workers are risking their lives. Hence, I reached out to them."

Kansal had contacted ETV Bharat's correspondent to get information regarding sanitation workers, subsequently leading to the distribution of PPE kits.
