Mahindra Ashvita, a united force in battle against Covid-19

HYDERABAD: All residents of

Mahindra Ashvita

on

Hafeezpet

Road, including children, have joined forces in the battle against Covid-19. Children in the society have prepared dustbins and put up posters on

preventive measures

throughout the common areas in the society. “Most kids are intrinsically inclined to help others. Compassion runs through their veins. One such child is nine-year-old Raunav Sen, who has written preventive measures and even prepared dustbins for disposal of bio-hazardous waste,” said society secretary, N Srinivas.

Measures to protect senior citizens and staffers were given utmost priority by housing society members. Staff were equipped with

safety gear

including masks, gloves, safety glasses and sanitisers. “The staffers were provided with all the essentials and they were accommodated in the vacant flat as we wanted to reduce public movement,” said

Rahul Somani

, joint treasurer of the society.

The housing society members also formed their own Covid-19 team which included a doctor and a person with an economics background to chalk out an expenditure plan along with the security staff. The team also ensured that fruits and vegetables were made available within the society.

“We have tied up with a farm to have produce delivered to our doorstep. We drew circles to ensure social distancing. Orders for essentials were placed on common WhatsApp groups so that people spend less time at supermarkets,” said Vijay Bhatt, a resident.

Sanitising the area, ensuring common areas including the park and gym remain close are among the other measures taken by the society.
