Jammu Tawi: Masks and Sanitizers distribution drive was organized by NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) Seva Foundation in KC Chowk and Parade Vegetable Mandi, Jammu. The aim of this drive was to raise awareness about the usage of masks and sanitizers these days when the third wave might hit us anytime. Keeping in view of the rising cases in other states, Seva Foundation launched this campaign in the Jammu region to provide Free Masks and Sanitizers to all the Local road side vendors, Auto Drivers, Vegetable and Fruit sellers.
The Masks and Sanitizers Distribution Drive was coordinated by Nitish Gupta (Secretary, Seva Foundation) and Suraj Koul (Joint Secretary & PRO, Seva Foundation) along with the other members of NGO. Vegetable and fruit sellers and side vendors were the major beneficiaries of this drive as they are in daily contact with the rest of the population and thus can initiate a chain if not taken care of.
Pankul Abrol and Rohan Sharma (Advisory Board Members) interacted with the local vendors in local Dogri language to create maximum awareness among these sellers as the cases are rising again in other states. Pankul made an appeal to all the sellers to make proper use of masks while selling their items. He asked the sellers to use Sanitizers and wash hands at regular intervals so as to reduce the chances of spread of CoronaVirus. During the drive around 120 washable cloth masks and more than 120 sanitizers were distributed amongst the beneficiaries. Vikas Pandita (Chairman, Seva Foundation) said that in the coming days our team will expand this distribution drive by covering other areas of Jammu region as well.
