India is one of those countries that has been crippled by the second wave of the novel Coronavirus. These times are testing for each one of us as we have been seeing how people are losing their lives because of the pandemic. There are people who are trying to help the situation get better. We have doctors, police, and other essential health workers who are working round the clock to ensure our safety.

The latest example of this is the lady Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) who is working even though she is pregnant at the moment. Yes, you heard it right. A video of a pregnant Deputy Superintendent of Police working on the busy streets and appealing to people to follow lockdown guidelines has been doing rounds on social media. DSP Shilpa Sahu came out on road to create awareness as she cannot sit back at home given the current circumstances.

Here’s the video:

“The coronavirus is spreading rapidly in the country. With an aim to control the spread, a lockdown has been imposed in the Dantewada district. We are on the roads to ensure people follow the protocols," the Deputy superintendent of police (DSP) said on Tuesday.

“We are outside to ensure the safety of people. We urge them to stay inside and not venture outside without any valid reason. If we are on the streets for the sake of your (people's) safety, you should also be at home for your safety," she said.

Earlier, Shilpa had been involved in anti-Maoists operations leading a team of Danteshwari Fighters- a group of women commandoes. After her pregnancy, she took a break from the field operations.

Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel has also praised her for setting an example for others. “Shilpa Sahu is an inspiration during these difficult times of COVID-19 pandemic. She is out on the street despite being pregnant and taking to task all those who are violating covid guidelines," Baghel said.

People are saluting her for her passion for her work despite being pregnant.
