Lucknow Will Deliver Free Sanitary Napkins & Sanitizers To Women Amid Lockdown

Even though the nation is under a 21-day lockdown, people are still allowed to go out and buy essential items. While groceries and medicines are easily available in the market, women are unable to find sanitary napkins in certain areas.

So, in a welcome move, the Lucknow district administration has decided to provide free sanitary pads to women. District magistrate Abhishek Prakash said that free sanitary napkins along with soaps and sanitizers will be delivered to women through six ‘Sakhi’ vans, reports News18.

The Times of India quoted the district magistrate saying,

“We learnt that during the lockdown, women and girls in some areas could not get sanitary napkins. We have prepared a route chart of those areas. The vans will reach there and provide them with free napkins, soaps, and sanitizers.”

Women in Lucknow can avail of these essential items by calling on the helpline number – 7905323611, provided by the authorities. This is a much-needed service during these troubled times. We hope other states follow suit and offer such aid as well.
