While there have been many instances of people shunning COVID-19 positive people, those needing help in Mumbai Central area have found a saviour in social worker Santosh Daundkar, 45, who lives at the BIT Chawl.

Daundkar, an RTI activist, has been helping neighbours and others affected by COVID-19 not just with logistical support but also moral support ever since the pandemic began. There are police quarters near Daundkar's residence where constable rank policemen reside. As soon as Daundkar comes to know of a neighbour infected with COVID-19, he reaches out to help them by taking them to the hospital. Over 15 policemen have been taken by him to the hospital.
