The lockdown brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic has left many jobless, one of whom is Lina Salgaonkar, a 25-year-old accountant from Andheri. But, Lina could not sit idle at home and took up the job of newspaper distribution at a time when others were scared to continue, fearing they would contract the deadly virus.

Lina, who lives with her parents near Tolani Naka, Andheri, had been working with a ship company for the past six years, but was asked to go on a break in June as the lockdown started affecting many businesses.
