Ramgarh: A 30-year-old alumnus of the Ramgarh-based Gandhi High School has launched a helpline number for those who are down with Covid-19 and isolating at home in order to provide medicines and other essential items to them free of cost.
Popularly known as the ‘medicine man’, Dhananjay Kumar Putush, who calls his initiative ‘Aao madad kare’ (come let’s help one another), delivers medicines, vegetables and ration to around 20 persons daily. Every morning, after the Covid patients inform him of their requirements on the helpline number, he hops onto his scooter and leaves for the market to buy medicines and other items. Impressed by his noble gesture, most of the shopkeepers now give him a handsome discount to support the cause.
