‘Bhakarwadi’ producer JD Majethia sets up a task force for victims to get Covid 19 compensation
The Covid 19 pandemic is a universal shock. It has halted every sphere of our life. Thousands have lost their lives and millions are affected. The tremors are felt everywhere. It has made our lives uncertain and created a fearful atmosphere. We humans know how to evolve and adapt to the new situation. Boldly facing adversity and turning the same into an opportunity is our DNA, says producer JD Majethia. This is best exemplified by the unit of our TV serial Bhakarwadi. Soon after resuming the shoot of the serial, the unit was caught in a piquant situation when seven of its crew members were not only diagnosed with Covid 19 positive but one unfortunate worker succumbed to the virus in spite of utmost care by the producer.
There is still no cure for Covid 19 and plasma transfusion is the last treatment in critical cases. Instead of being disheartened by the disruption caused by the corona virus attack, the Bhakarwadi unit struck back and vowed to attack the disease instead. Now the unit has entered into an arrangement with Kokilaben Ambani Hospital for Plasma donation by all the recovered unit members. The seven members who were affected by the Covid 19 have now recovered and rearing to help the others recover from the dreaded disease. They have decided to donate their blood plasma so that others may benefit. The lightning speed in getting the Insurance amount of 25 lacs is also encouraging and will make the workers little bold to tackle the menace of corona virus. At a time when the situation is gloomy, the gesture of the Bhakarwadi unit is a welcome relief and showed how to positively respond to the Covid 19 turmoil.
