Srinagar, Mar 28: Amid the loot of shopkeepers while selling face masks in wake of COVID-19 pandemic, a tailor mistress of north Kashmir’s Baramulla town has taken initiative to distribute masks freely.

According to Kashmir News Service (KNS), Asma Jan who is currently works in Himayat centre as a trainer, said amid Corona Virus threat across Jammu and Kashmir, she came to know that several shopkeepers are looting people.

“A week ago I went to market where shopkeepers were selling face masks at exorbitant rates. Several shopkeepers were looting innocent and needy people and were selling masks from 40 to 100 rupee. This irked me and I decided that I will distribute face masks freely among masses” Asma said.

She added people who want to do something for people in critical times, should abandon material benefits and come forward on compassionate grounds.
