It is still a matter of grave concern that so many are still suffering from the pandemic and lockdown. Day labourers, domestic workers and rickshaw pullers are in a dire situation, with their incomes choked. I am thankful that many of the affluent of our society have come forward to support the poor, but that is not enough. The government's grants are failing to reach the neediest. I just hope we can collectively come forward to assist the disadvantaged, however possible.
