The increasing number of corona patients in Madhya Pradesh's financial capital Indore has created an atmosphere of fear. In this hot summer afternoon, health workers are going door-to-door to collect samples and foe the screening work. This is the story of women workers who are surveying the most infected area in Tatapatti Bakhal. They have to face many problems.

After surveying 129 houses, Madhuri Shinde, an employee of the Department of Women and Child Development, sitting outside the temple in Tatpatti Bakhal, wipes sweat from the face covered with a mask. She was accompanied by teachers Sheela Sharma and Mamta Jain. She says that we are going to homes every day to take a follow-up. Some patients came out in the survey itself, who were later found to be corona infected. We have started recognizing the residents now, but when the survey started, most of the tenants were not giving information. Many families in the area are Bengali artisans working in bullion. They were hesitant to give information, but now tell us all things properly.

So far more than 40 infected are found here. After reaching home after 10 hours, we are able to have food again. Even with tiffin, we cannot eat in the area, because there is a risk of infection. We bring a big bottle of water in the bag because after a day's survey, you feel thirsty. We cannot even ask anyone for water in the colony because of the risk of infection. We take water from each other's bottles. While doing this, we are surveying homes.
