· Common Symptoms: Chronic lower back pain, knee joint wear, and neck/shoulder tension

Today Rinzin visited Madrasah Faizan‑e‑Ahlesunnat (Dawat‑e‑Islami) to share an information on the occupational injuries and health risks faced by food‑delivery workers — the unsung heroes keeping our city moving.

Riders deal with traffic dangers, body strain, extreme weather, and mental stress every single day. These risks can lead to fractures, chronic back pain, dehydration, fatigue, and burnout.

Simple safety habits can save lives:
✔ Proper helmet & high‑visibility gear
✔ Stretching between orders
✔ Staying hydrated and resting in shaded/AC spots
✔ Avoiding rush during hazardous weather

Grateful to the Madrasah team for hosting this meaningful session. Let’s continue supporting safer working conditions for our delivery community.

Early detection can make all the difference – and we're so grateful to have been able to share this vital information with our Nepali community.
