Ludhiana: Under the Mission Fateh of the Punjab government, the awareness drive in district Ludhiana is going on in full swing. Several NGOs, under the aegis of District Red Cross Society Ludhiana today carried out awareness drive regarding Covid 19 in different parts of district Ludhiana.
Mr Balbir Ayry, Secretary, District Red Cross Society Ludhiana, also encouraged the NGO members by distributing Mission Fateh badges. He said that Covid 19 was not only a disease, but the repercussions associated with it led to several other problems. He said that the people from lower economic strata were worst affected. He said that although the Punjab government made efforts to ensure that no person sleeps hungry during lockdown, several NGOs also came forward for this noble cause and distributed dry ration as well as cooked food amongst people.
While appreciating the role of organisations and youth clubs associated with civil and police administration, Mr Ayry said that whenever people suffer from difficulties, Ludhianvis always lend a helping hand to such persons. He urged such organisations to carry out social service, but should also keep the precautions in mind so that we can make Ludhiana district COVID 19 free.
Mission Fateh campaign has been launched by the Punjab government to make the people aware about the precautionary measures taken by the government and the health department to prevent the spread of Corona virus in all rural and urban areas of the state. Under the public awareness campaign 'Mission Fateh' launched by the Punjab government to rid the state of Covid, ground activities are being organised in the district from June 15 to 21, 2020.
He said that during this awareness drive, residents were educated that they can easily remain safe from COVID 19 if they follow all directions of the Punjab government. He said that if we wear masks while going outside, maintain social distancing and wash hands regularly, then we can easily beat this disease. /(June 19)
