In India’s fight against Covid-19, various Covid warriors emerged, who risked their lives and sacrificed their time, and often their health, to protect people from the deadly virus.
One such Covid warrior was ACP Ramesh Nangare, who led the fight against Covid in one of the country’s major Covid hot-spot, Dharavi. Unfortunately, Mr. Nangare passed away due to a heart attack last night.

Mr. Nangare managed the highly populated area of Dharavi, which made social distancing effectively impossible. He even stayed away from his home for long periods of time, to limit their exposure to the virus.

He, along with his team, ensured that people were effectively quarantined when required, managed available resources, and distributed sanitizers, food, and other essentials items to those in need.

I spent a few days with him during the lockdown when I was working on a story on the @MumbaiPolice . He was a kind and committed officer, often working very late nights after finishing a full day’s shift. He worked a double shift on his last day as well and went home at 5am.

Sad to hear that ACP Ramesh Nangare passed away earlier today. The brave heart worked non-stop at the frontline, in order to ensure an effective and smooth implementation of the lockdown last year.
