"It is heartening for me to know that the police service across the nation is helping so many people in these difficult times," said Kohli. "I want to acknowledge the efforts of Delhi police who have not only performed their duties with absolute honesty but also taken food to the poor people on a daily basis, which is their utmost requirement. So, well done and keep putting in the same effort." "This is the time to stay at home, spend time with your loved ones and take care of yourself and your family. Delhi police jawans are performing their duties day and night," said Ishant. "Let's come forward and help Delhi police by staying at our homes. And most importantly not to believe rumours. We will win this fight together. Jai Hind." India has been under a three-week lockdown that is scheduled to end on April 14 as the country grapples with the coronavirus pandemic.
