'Volunteers should become warriors against COVID-19’

Minister for Secondary Education Minister Suresh Kumar called upon volunteers against COVID-19 to works like warriors.

“We should win the war against the COVID-19. Hence, volunteers should work like warriors,” he said.

He was speaking after viewing the Citro bio shield disinfection tunnel to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

For the first time in India, the disinfection tunnel was prepared without any chemicals under the guidance of a special officer for the prevention of COVID-19 B N Varaprasad Reddy. The equipment will be helpful in preventing the spread of COVID-19 and there will be no side effects, the minister added.
