In these difficult times, police personnel, both collectively and individually, have taken the lead in galavanising and mobilising the community to arrange for food for their less fortunate brethren, such as the daily wage workers and migrant labourers who have no money, food or shelter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; At a time when people can\u2019t move out due to the curfew even for medical emergencies, including deliveries and vaccinations, thousands of policemen of all ranks have become social workers and caregivers etc.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The police personnel are also working in close coordination with NGOs and religious organisations, especially Gurdwaras, to ensure that all these people are protected and taken care of.
