A video of women distributing free sanitary pads to women at Maha Kumbh Mela has been doing the rounds on the Internet, winning people’s hearts left, right and centre. This follows the Yogi Adityanath government’s initiative to set up free sanitary pad corners at the spiritual gathering in Prayagraj.
“Some companies are doing good work in Kumbh. One company is distributing sanitary pads to women and girls for free with the help of some girls,” wrote journalist Rajesh Sahu while sharing a video on X (formerly known as Twitter).
He added, “Similarly, the Health Department is also distributing free sanitary pads in all its hospitals in Kumbh.”
