People are taking up volunteering jobs offered by the Delhi government to make ends meet during the COVID-19 crisis
With the COVID-19 pandemic resulting in frequent restrictions and lockdowns, many in the city suffered job losses. A lot of such people took up the Delhi government's civil defence volunteer roles with the COVID teams. It helped them earn daily wages by working with COVID challan teams or at the vaccination centres.
For 25-year-old Abhishek Kumar Singh, life before the COVID-19 pandemic revolved around his full-time job as an accountant. Skip to this year -- he is now completing 12 months as a civil defence volunteer at Balak Ram Hospital. His accounting duties have taken a back seat as he is now a part of the Delhi government's COVID vaccination team. “It has been a boon for me,” Mr. Singh told The Hindu.
His duty hours with the vaccination team are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. After that, if he gets lucky, he does some accounting job on a part-time basis.
