The families of police officials and healthcare workers are under immense stress as their loved ones are working at the frontline against the novel coronavirus. Long hours of duty have probably made it difficult for them to spend time with their families but they continue to serve the nation nevertheless.
Thanking such people, an 8-year-old daughter of a Delhi Police Head Constable, Vidhi Dhaka, wrote a letter. She expressed her gratitude to her father and his colleagues who are risking their lives for the safety of others, reports Hindustan Times.
In the letter, she writes:
“You do not sleep at night. You come late to your house or sometimes you don’t come to the house. So I, Vidhi Dhaka, daughter of Anil Kumar Dhaka, want to thank you and your staff for taking care of everyone without thinking of your own lives.”
According to NDTV, Vidhi opened up about her purpose behind writing the letter.
“I wrote this because for the past few days I was not seeing my dad in the house whenever I woke up. I am proud of my dad and of all police personnel but I am also afraid that they might catch the disease. Therefore, I wrote this letter to him and for all other policemen, doctors who are working hard,” she said.
Vidhi’s father, Anil, had shown the letter to his colleagues and his Station House Officer and reveals how the SHO was moved after reading it.
Not just Vidhi, but the entire nation is thankful to the medical and healthcare workers, police officials, and people handing essential services. This crisis has shown us how we are entirely dependent on such people for our safety and well being!
