AGARTALA, June 2 (TIWN): On Tuesday at 12:40 PM, the Peoples’ Volunteer Group received a call regarding a fire-service worker who was suffering from a Coronavirus infection for a few days. The patient was kept in home isolation in the Kalitila area of Khairpur, RK Nagar was having difficulty in breathing. Soon after receiving the call, the volunteers rushed to the spot within 15 mins wearing PPE kits by auto-ambulance, put him in an oxygen mask, and took him to GB Hospital. After admitting the patient there, they also informed his family members.

Similarly, yesterday when a COVID positive patient residing in Abhoynagar was suffering severe breathing problems, the ambulance driver and the health staff did not hold her while she was sitting down on road on the way to the ambulance despite the staff were wearing PPE kits. Hearing this pathetic reaction of the workers, the People Relief Volunteer members went to the spot to help out that patient. 

People's Relief Volunteers consisting of student youths from all over the state are reaching out to the families affected by this epidemic every day. Starting from distributing food and other essential items among the people to taking them to the hospital, the students are playing a vital role during this tough time.
