V4 Cadet Secure The absence of housekeeping services during the lockdown was making matters worse at a vast residential complex in south Mumbai. The V4 cadets stationed there took charge of cleaning and sanitising the premises every day. Many workers were stranded in some portions of the complex that were under construction. The team educated them about safety precautions that needed to be taken during the pandemic and even provided medical assistance to some who suffered from exhaustion. During the second phase of the lockdown, about 1,200 construction workers had to be evacuated. The situation was ably handled by V4 cadets although they had to face aggression and manhandling from some labourers who were desperate to return to their villages. The company provides transport facilities to its staffers apart from ensuring they follow safety norms.(This story appears in the 19 June, 2020 issue of Forbes India.
