Ever since deadly coronavirus appeared, Sundargarh Sadar BJP MLA Kusum Tete has been moving from Sundargarh town to villages in her constituency to create awareness among people to contain spread of the virus.
Tete has also donated her one month's salary to Chief Minister’s Relief Fund (CMRF) to help those affected by the new virus.
Tete along with her party leaders has also distributed leaflets, masks and hand-wash liquids among villagers at Rupidih and other villages.
Tete also discussed with the Sundargarh CDMO on strategies to check spread of virus.
Besides, the MLA has also engaged 89 social workers to create awareness on maintaining social distance, washing hands and staying home during the lockdown period.
They are also helping the district administration in distribution of old-age pension at the doorsteps of elderly persons, asking the vegetable sellers to keep social distance and ensuring cleanliness at public places.
Tete has also written to Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik urging him to waive off agriculture loans and study loans.
“My effort is on to create awareness among the people in my constituency to check coronavirus outbreak and alongwith social workers I am providing necessary help to the people in this critical hour,” said Tete.
