Watch: Jhansi Police Distributes Toys To Children Of Migrant Workers At MP-UP Border

by

In a heartwarming gesture, Jhansi Police distributed toys among the children of migrant workers on their way to their hometowns with their parents, reports Hindustan Times.

In a widely share video on social media platforms, Jhansi police personnel can be seen handing over toys to young children of migrant workers at the Madhya Pradesh-Uttar Pradesh border.

“We wanted to bring a smile on their faces, add some love and warmth in this cruel heat. It was such a joy to see them happy,” says Jhansi SP Rahul Srivastava.

He further added, “We have made these tents hospitable. We have set up heat proof and water proof tents for migrant workers and their families. We want the children and women to feel comfortable before leaving for their destination. The scorching heat has compounded their misery. They have to wait for long hours at every border to proceed ahead. We serve them food and water, but we realise that small children don’t feel like eating much. They cry persistently, so we thought toys might cheer them up.”

“Their mothers are already drained out by carrying them in this unbearable heat. Engaging kids could lessen the burden of these women,” says the SP.
