Occurrence of COVID- 19 or Coronavirus in India has once again emphasized the need for personal cleanliness and hygiene and proper sanitation of the surroundings. Municipal workers are working very hard to keep the towns/ villages clean and neat and maintaining proper sanitation of places, frequently visited by people, to prevent the spread of the deadly Coronavirus. In acknowledgement of the great services rendered by the Municipal staff, working hard during the hot summer, we have given them fruits and energy drink packets as a token of our love and appreciation for their services.

The fishermen from Gilakaladandi village were suffering much, because of the countrywide lockdown, as they could not go into sea to catch fish and did not have any other source of income.

Face masks are very important protection from touching mouth and nose of a person. It is said that, when a person touches a virus infected place and then touches his face/ mouth/ nose or eyes, the virus will enter into that person and will begin replicating itself in millions. Hence, it is very important that one does not touch his face. Because of country-wide lockdown, the policemen are doing 24X7 duty and it is very likely that during their duty, they may unknowingly touch an infected place and touch their face. It is also important that, one should frequently clean/ wash his hands. While in duty outside, it may not be possible to wash hands. Hence, we have given Face masks/ Sanitizers and water bottles to police station, as our contribution to control COVID-19.
