India, May 27 -- Jyoti Bansode, 53, a healthcare worker from Ramabai Ambedkar Nagar, Ghatkopar, who is currently on census duty, said all workers are working diligently braving the heat, as "this is a national responsibility." Most workers use the cap provided in their safety kit, while some wear a scarf to protect their face and head. Bansode has been working as a healthcare worker in the area for the last three decades. "I start my work around 9:30 am and continue till 3:30 pm. We break for lunch in between and carry water to stay hydrated. Drinking plenty of water is the only way to beat the heat," she said. A veteran, Bansode has been working in this area for nearly 30 years. "As I know most of the local residents, my census work is easy." She covers around 20 to 30 houses every day, as authorities have set a target of around 200 to 250 houses to be counted by June 5 as part of the census' first phase. "Residents support us. Some invite us into their homes and offer water, while others give us cold drinks," she said....
