Why did Reena carry her child to work?

Reena’s husband, a CRPF constable, is stationed in Jammu and Kashmir, reported the outlet. Her in-laws are no longer alive. With no one else to take care of her kid, she takes her child to work while continuing her search for a caregiver.

As per the outlet, while on duty Reena carries homemade dalia porridge, blanket, nappies, and milk for her kid.
