Ward 23 Councillor of Municipal Corporation Gurugram Kunal Yadav, in collaboration with Nanhi Veena Women’s Welfare Foundation, recently organized a heart-warming blanket distribution drive in Gurugram to support underprivileged families facing the winter chill. With temperatures plunging to dangerous lows, the joint effort focused on a single, urgent goal: ensuring warmth, dignity, and survival for those living at the margins. The activity was aimed at protecting the city’s most vulnerable residents from life-threatening cold conditions.

The blanket distribution drive was strategically conducted in high-need areas including Chakkarpur Village, Labour Chowk, Phase 1 Cross Roads, and multiple labour settlements, where exposure to the elements is most severe. The initiative not only provided essential winter relief but also brought smiles and a sense of comfort to many children, elderly people, and families struggling to cope with the cold.
This was the fourth blanket drive organized by the Nanhi Veena Women’s Welfare Foundation, underscoring its sustained commitment to underserved communities. The Foundation’s mission aligned seamlessly with Councillor Yadav’s dedication to public service and constituent welfare.
Speaking about the activity, Councillor Kunal Yadav shared, “When the mercury drops to such perilous levels, safeguarding human life becomes our foremost responsibility. By providing warmth to the poorest of the poor, we are doing more than distributing blankets – we are affirming that no one in our community is forgotten during these difficult times.”
