COVID-19 Response: Hyderabad IT Professional Lends Helping Hand To Stranded Odisha Workers

Hyderabad: Odisha MP Amar Pattnaik’s tweet regarding the plights of migrant workers from Odisha stranded in Ongole city of Andhra Pradesh without food drew a response from a group of IT professionals from Hyderabad. They came forward to help the people.

Rajya Sabha MP Amar Pattnaik on Wednesday had tweeted, ”coordination of over 10 days has failed to help a group of 30 Odias with ration. Left with no choice, they have decided to walk from Andhra Pradesh to Odisha. The Chief Secy of Odisha has written to his counterpart in AP with no results”.

Sai Teja, an IT professional and an activist along with his team assured the distressed lot that they would get ration at the earliest.

Teja shared the message with several groups. A friend from Ongole responded and purchased groceries and delivered the food items to the stranded migrants.

Many people from different sectors also responded to the MP’s tweet and assured him that the migrants would receive ration within a day.

The MP personally thanked the team on Twitter for their help before the local government’s intervention.
