To ensure the safety and protection of migrant workers returning home by Shramik Special Trains as well as railway employees, members of Udaipur-based NGO Narayan Seva Sansthan stitched face masks for them.

Migrant workers coming by Shramik Special Trains into Rajasthan had a lovely surprise waiting for them. They were given face masks made by members of Udaipur-based NGO Narayan Seva Sansthan (NSS).

NSS, which works to support people with physical and mental disabilities, has been working to rehabilitate people with disabilities forever 30 years. It has over 400 branches in India and nearly 50 abroad.

Migrant workers and railway employees were given 700 face masks and five-litre bottles of sanitisers for their protection against the coronavirus epidemic.

These face masks made by the differently-abled to beat the coronavirus epidemic are being distributed to poor, needy, helpless people. Along with the masks, we are also giving food packets, sanitisers and rations to the needy. – Prashant Agarwal, President, Narayan Seva Sansthan
