Sensible director Sekhar Kammula always stands up issues pertaining to society. In this Coronavirus lockdown, along with doctors and police, even sanitation workers risking their lives. So Sekhar has come up with an initiative to provide refreshments for the sanitation workers.
“Watching sanitation workers toiling it out continuously in the hot summer is really heartbreaking. Areas in and around Gandhi hospital seem like war-zones and sanitation workers are our foot soldiers. Hundreds of them are relentlessly working in the red zone areas, hot spots, and hospitals, risking their lives. We really can’t thank them enough,” said Sekhar.
Adding, “To beat the heat, we arranged for a cold drink (buttermilk or Badam milk) from Vijaya Dairy for 1000 sanitation workers in this area for a period of one month. Vijaya Dairy company agreed to provide the products for a subsidized price. The GHMC North Zone supervisors took up the challenge of distributing the drinks to each one of their workers at their respective work areas by 11 am every morning. It’s been a week that we started this program and it's working really well,” said Sekhar and thanked GHMC.
Also extending the same program to Kurnool Municipal Corporation, Sekhar said we want to keep going.
“If anyone/group/students find this interesting and wants to reach out, pool the money. Identify a Vijaya dairy or its equivalent in your town. Get in touch with the relevant municipal corporation supervisors and try to support sanitation/migrant workers,” summed up Sekhar Kammula.
