When Hello Mumbai News Correspondent asked Monolina Dutta Gupta what type of challenges were faced by her she said,” The main challenge which we faced during lockdown was communication for execution of projects. So many people desperately needed help but we were unable to cope because of lack of adequate resources and manpower. It was heartbreaking that we couldn’t do more but even a little smile on anyone’s face was our biggest reward and motivation”.
Monilina Dutta by giving an appeal to the people said that ,” The message which I would like to convey to everyone is to be kind.
