In search of work, 22-year old Ms Vinita Patpal from Uttarakhand travelled to Delhi. Upon reaching Delhi, she lost whatever little she had, her money and also her phone, at the New Delhi Railway Station. Deeply sad and in utter confusion by what had happened, Vinita stayed at the railway station for the next two days without anything to feed herself.
However, after two days, she mustered courage to leave the station and ask for help from an auto driver nearby. Vinita narrated her ordeal to him and that she had no relatives in the city to seek help. The auto-rickshaw driver did not want her to linger at the railway station for fear of her safety and human trafficking. He took Vinita to his house in Yamuna Khadar slums, Shastri
Park, and contacted Ms. Babita Kumari, community worker of MAIN (Migrant Assistance and Information Network). Since he knew her from the time of the COVID-19 relief work with distressed migrants, he sought help for Vinita too.
Babita reached out on the police helpline number the next day and Vinita was taken to Shastri Park police station. The police asked her details and how she landed in the city. Babita also contacted the Women’s Commission helpline too. Meanwhile, SHO Vijay Kumar and Shastri Park Police Station inspector Rajkumar spoke to Vinita and decided to send her back home.
Thanks to the timely intervention and support facilitated by Babita from MAIN, Vinita was finally sent back to her home safely in Kirti Nagar, Uttarakhand.’
