While millions in india are facing huge difficulties a first hand account from kerala.
Mohini chechi (in picture) our domestic help dropped by after 7 weeks. With buses not running in kochi, she walked and hitched a ride as she says she was fed up of sitting at home.
She narrated how the government has taken care of her family of 5 during the lock down. Her husband and sonin law are daily wage earners and have no income since lock down . She and her 2 daughters a nurse & an accountant got their salaries on line (I too have send it regularly,twice sofar)
They hold ration cards for people below a certain income level ( not sure on the exact figure) which ensured they got 25 kgs of rice from the ration shop and another 25 kgs from the panchayat ( 5 kgs per head). An additional 5 kgs was given by the local ward member. They also got 2 sets of kits containing 17 items including 1 kg wheat, lentils, soaps etc. All this she says of good quality and zero cost.
She says other than feeling bored and having body pains because of sitting idle, she has had no problems.
I salute the #Keralagovernment & the machinery for taking care of its #people .
Blessed to be in God's own country.
