Some frontline workers lost their lives during the peak of the pandemic. The Kadam family, one of whose members was a frontline worker, lost two members. Sanjay Kadam, 56, who worked at the Cooper hospital, admitting patients and getting details of those coming with emergencies, died due to COVID-19 at the end of May 2020, and his sister died soon after due to the disease, devastating the family.

While his son has been given a job, the municipal employee’s family now awaits compensation from the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).
