When a pregnant woman reached the hospital for delivery, she was informed that she would need a caesarian section and would have to arrange blood for the same. Due to the lockdown, there was no way to get people for the same and the woman and her husband - a farm worker - had no option but to return home. Unfortunately, with no ambulance to take them back, the pregnant lady had to walk 7 kilometers. Midway through their journey, they were stopped by police constable S Syed Abuthaheer. After he understood their situation, he arranged lunch for them and asked them to wait awhile. Once his duty ended at 2 pm, he took them back to the hospital and donated blood. He stayed back till the dbaby was delivered at 10 pm. When the media reported this story, the district SP rewarded Abu's good work by giving him Rs 1,000. The DGP gave him Rs 10,000 too. What did he do? He gave that money too to the new parents.

Touched by her act, Andhra Pradesh Director General of Police (DGP) Gautam Sawang had her traced and personally thanked her via video call.

He found accommodation for 131 labourers (which included televisions, fans and a kitchen) and provided food for 10 days for them. When asked about the expense, Abdul Khader said, "That's ok. What if the corona takes me tomorrow. The best thing money can do is the satiate the hunger of a person."

  4. These are our common men heroes. Their role is not much recognised even though they are more selfless than the so called celebrities.
