    Construction workers are allowed to work and can be seen working everywhere so why package for them. This money will surely go to the pockets of wrong people and ministers.

    By the time the beneficiaries throng Seva Sindhu to get this pittance many won't survive and good chance of getting corona. Party workers might pocket all the money depriving eligible people. Open the businesses and let people earn instead of throwing bread crumbs and boasting as if great favour has been done.
