The COVID-19 positive cases worldwide have hit one million yet there are so many cases of people recovering from this disease. The healthcare workers, grocery workers, sanitation workers are all working round the clock to make sure that people are safe and healthy. Paying tributes is the need of the hour to let these healthcare workers know that the world is grateful for their relentless work and dedication.
Today Prime Minister Modi announced another such tribute to be paid on April 5, Sunday at 9 PM, where people are requested to switch off their lights and light diyas or torches to show the nation’s solidarity and determination to fight the virus together. The country is looking forward to it because soon after the announcement many expressed their eagerness for this tribute on social media.
