Lucknow Cop Reports on Duty With Her Child During Lockdown, Says ‘Work Is Essential During Pandemic’ | Earth Indian

Lucknow: While the entire nation stays indoors to observe the Covid-19 lockdown, people at the frontline are doing their best to make our lives easier and keep us safe. Their work is riddled with risks and sacrifices, but they still don’t hesitate in fulfilling their responsibilities.

One such story is of Lucknow sub-inspector Nida Arshi who brought her daughter to duty so that she does not have to stay at home in Lucknow during the lockdown.

Arshi said she had to bring her daughter with her because her mother-in-law was sick and there was no one to look after the toddler. She also added that she is observing Ramzan fast

“Today I brought her as her grandmom who usually looks after her is unwell. At this time of pandemic, it’s essential to carry out our duty as police personnel. I’m also observing roza”, she told ANI, who shared the pictures of her along with her daughter.

Just recently, in a similar gesture, Srijana Gummalla, an officer of 2013 IAS batch and Commissioner of the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation, refused to take maternity leave amid the coronavirus pandemic and carried her month-old baby to work, just 22 days after giving birth.
