Along with doctors and nurses, the grade IV workers are also working hard in their fight against the coronavirus. However, the administration has ignored their security.

While the hospital administration has arranged food for doctors and nurses from hotel and provided with hygienic arrangements to have their meal, the workers are forced to eat in the open. Corona-affected and suspects are undergoing treatment in various civic hospitals in the city.

Doctors, nurses and class IV workers are working day night to treat them. Food for over one thousand doctors and nurses is being provided by Tata organisation. Doctors and nurses in BYL Nair hospital get food packets form hotels and they have it in the canteen.

But the workers are provided food from local eateries and have no option but to eat in the open. We are also working hard as the doctors and nurses. Then why we are not getting the same food as they are getting, asked the workers.

"Corporation should not discriminate. This is annoying as they are also risking their life. The safety of workers is important," Ramesh Jadhav, President, Republican Kamgar Sena, said.
