Raghav Chadha deployed different teams of volunteers to identify and prepare the ration kits for about 100 transgenders.
Raghav Chadha, Rajendra Nagar MLA flagged off "Mission Sahara" an initiative to help and assist the transgender community during Covid-19.
He deployed different teams of volunteers to identify and prepare the ration kits for about 100 transgenders, who have been unable to access ration kits through the existing free ration distribution scheme of the Kejriwal government. The teams will further help this community by completing their KYC and other documentation required to come under the ambit of the government's ration distribution scheme. It has become even more important for such volunteers to come forward to assist in these tough times of the pandemic.
According to the statement, Chadha said, ''through mission Sahara we aim to spread some help to those who are in absolute need of it. For many people each day each night is a battle for survival. Offering free ration kits is a step to evaluate their struggle."
He also added "the right to life is enshrined in our constitution. Access to food is a part of this very right to life. As the elected representative of Rajendra Nagar, I will do everything within my power to ensure that people in my constituency don't have to run from pillar to post. Mission Sahara is our way of ensuring that nobody has to struggle for basic survival and it's my duty to ensure that nobody in Rajendra Nagar is forced to sleep hungry. We will continue with mission Sahara across Rajendra Nagar and till the after-effects of the pandemic get improved and we read some from the semblancy."
Covid-19 cases were horrific during the second wave of the pandemic which had impacted many lives and had also led to starvation and financial crisis.
