In an attempt to put these words into action, we have extended our support to all the construction workers across all our sites. The lockdown will surely test our patience and our limit of endurance, but it will especially hit the underprivileged ones. Through the wide range of welfare initiatives, we intend to support and bring this class of people out of the crisis safely, and eventually support India in its fight against COVID-19. We hope this initiative would further encourage others to come forward and join us in this noble endeavor.”
