This is unfortunate and cruel if RWAs are indulging in ostracization of frontline warriors - they are helping us stay safe and healthy while they are out fighting the virus on our behalf. Any such cases, please bring it to our attention and we will alert authorities.
I visited a few hospitals, doctors n paramedics told me that in many apartments, they are being ill treated by denying lift, garbage disposal facilities etc.This action is not only wrong but illegal too.Maygood sense prevail and health warriors get due respect.RWAs please note.
