Shri Kailash Gahlot today reached Burari and Daryaganj to meet the family of Corona warrior Late ChinniChing and Late Seema, respectively. The Revenue Minister spent time with the two families and assured them of all possible help in future from the Delhi Government. He further added that nursing officer ChinniChing succumbed to the infection on May 7, 2021, while Safai Karamchari Seema passed away due to the infection on June 8, 2020.

Shri Kailash Gahlot also added that the compensation amount was a promise by the Delhi Government that they would always stand in solidarity with the ‘Covid Warriors’.
Kejriwal government is always ready to assist its ‘Covid Warriors’
The Revenue Minister said that in order to serve the public amid the Covid-19 epidemic, doctors, nurses and other staff of hospitals provided their services round the clock to the patients, often staying away from their own families and other close relatives. While performing their duties, some nursing staff and doctors were infected by the infection and laid their lives for the nation. He pray to God that the soul of these noble people rest in peace. I assure the families of these Covid Warriors that the Delhi Government will do whatever it can to support them. We are extremely grateful to our Covid Warriors and salute them for laying their lives for the wellbeing of Delhi’s citizens.
Minister speaks about the sacrifice of Late ChinniChing and Late Seema
ChinniChing was a resident of Burari and worked as a nursing officer at the Lok Nayak Jaiprakash Hospital in the city, while, Seema, who was a resident of Daryaganj, worked as a Safai Karamchari at the same hospital. Both of them dutifully attended to the patients of the hospital at the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic. They also went out of their way to take care of those patients residing in a containment zone or under home quarantine during the pandemic. It was while performing their duties that they tested positive for Covid-19. They were admitted at the Lok Nayak Jaiprakash Hospital when their infection escalated rapidly, and unfortunately both the members succumbed due to their conditions.
