"We have come to this underprivileged area in Chandigarh to spread awareness about the use of sanitary napkins among women. We want to tell them that use of sanitary napkins is very important," Prachi Sehgal, member of the group said.

After receiving sanitary pads, a woman appreciated the work done by the association and said everyone cannot afford sanitary napkin.

"This is an appreciating effort by this group. Due to weak financial conditions, most of the women here use home-made alternatives during their menstrual age but now the sanitary napkins provided by the group will be useful for us," she said. (ANI)
