Family members of police personnel in this district have extended a helping hand in the nation's fight against the coronavirus outbreak by sewing masks at home and preparing ration packets for the needy.
Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Swapan Sharma said on Thursday that 800 masks made in the last one week have been handed out at check points while 33,000 packets of dry ration distributed in slum areas and to the migrant labourers.
Each family has also contributed Rs 500 towards this fight against the deadly virus, he said, adding, "Together we stand stronger -- this is the message that the families of Ropar policemen are out to convey."
Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) Jagtar Singh's wife Sukhwinder Kaur (48) said, "It is our duty to extend support. We couldn't think of anything better than make masks to keep our men in khaki safe in these tough times."
