Amitava says: "Sakil is my hero during the ongoing pandemic. While the rest of the societies had shut all doors towards the poor communities for their daily provisions, he had taken no pain in supplying drinking water to the slums and shanties of the street people. Everyday, he used to restore the liquid lifeline twice for the poorest section uninterruptedly without any big tangible benefit for him and he deserves to be my Hero of 2020.
