The first step towards Aatmanirbhar India has been achieved. Now, we have our own vaccine ready with approval received from DCGI. It will be first tried on the people in the priority list. We can understand the priority list of people eligible for vaccine as emergency measure, to counter the spread of corona virus. According to an ANI report, the Health Ministry have prioritized 30 crore people for this COVID -19 vaccine. It includes health workers, frontline workers like police, military, and sanitation staff, besides people above 50 years, and those who are below 50 years but are suffering from certain diseases. 
But, we have forgotten the contribution of all those unsung heroes in our city, who have been guarding and maintaining our society premises day and night. Unfortunately, they are not eligible along with few other people who were part of compulsory services for the people through private bodies.
For the past 8 to 9 months these security guards and maintenance staff have been doing their day to day duty fearlessly, taking all the necessary precautions for themselves. At the same time they have been operating to check the delivery of goods ordered by the residents of the society, including their courier parcels and letters. It was a tiring, thankless and risky job, but they were doing their duty with utmost care.
What is more important is that these people are not paid well, compared to healthcare and frontline workers doing the same type of job in hospitals or at government establishments. So, one can understand their problem. Yet, they came forward to serve all those tenants in the society, who were home quarantined to avoid spread of corona virus. Whenever the municipal authorities or police authorities came for their verification, they were the people who helped them.
More than the security guards, the job of maintenance staff of the societies involved in cleaning, sweeping and collecting the garbage from the doorstep of every flat was more risky. But the youngsters did their duty with full commitment. Some of the housing societies did help all these people by providing them with masks and other essentials, required to protect them, but the courage they had to do this risky job, needs special appreciation. And therefore, whether they are included or not included in the priority list, the least we all can do, is to appreciate their services.
