On May 30, 500 relief kits were released for the deprived families of Hindpiri area of Ranchi.
The Covid -19 Response Team Jharkhand realized that there are many disadvantaged families in several areas in Ranchi city, who faced livelihood problems during lockdown. Despite all measures, poor, helpless families like widowed women, old, physically challenged people, daily wage labourers, rickshaw pullers, retailer, etc are extremely poor and destitute families who can be identified and provided with special relief kits. Hindpiri area is also one of these where many disadvantaged families faced a pathetic condition due to the area being sealed. It is a large area where all the needy people have not got relief material. The response team, Jharkhand accepted it as a challenge and from May 30, 10,000 needy families were identified in Ranchi city and distribution of relief materials to the needy has begun.
