JHF Fights Against COVID-19

Soon after COVID-19 catastrophe unfolded in India, the govt. of India declared a nation-wide lockdown on the 24 th March to contain the spread of this pandemic. This pushed the already suffering daily wage workers to a deeper crisis. They were struck far away from home with no work or ration and hence they were left with no other option but to resort to migration. The JHF members had foreseen such a situation and devised a very organic strategy to deal with it in three different phases.

In phase 1 of their action plan, the team started with some ground work and made two lists by surveying- The first list included people residing in remote areas where regular accessibility was not possible. They were given ration and hygiene kits by the JHF team. For the second list of workers, the JHF took up initiative to feed as many people as possible . They distributed food packets twice daily.

In the phase 2, the team JHF sanitized all the major public places of the city- including temples, mosques, gurudwaras, bus stands, roads, railway stations etc. Not only this the JHF members also spread awareness about the importance of social distancing and precautionary measures like wearing masks.

In phase 3, JHF warriors have worked in assisting migrant workers to reach home. They have been facilitating, around 50 to 100 such migrant workers reaching Jharkhand , with buses to reach their home towns or villages.

JHF has always stood up for the downtrodden and poverty-stricken and has relentlessly worked to combat this pandemic situation in its own little way.
