The Union Government has launched a telegram channel with different helpline numbers for different States to provide information related to the COVID-19.
The dedicated channel named 'MyGov Corona Newsdesk', a cloud-based mobile and desktop messaging app, would provide accurate information about the various initiatives undertaken towards controlling the current Coronavirus Covid 19 pandemic.
It would curb the spread of inaccurate information across the social media about the outbreak.
Besides sharing factual data and relevant news pieces, the app would also enable subscribers to access and read content that was shared before they joined the channel, which will work for 24X7 and provide crucial updates regarding Government advisories, do’s and don’ts, guidelines for hygiene and sanitation, standard operating procedures across various establishments and more.
In addition to this, the channel, would provide details on volunteers and individuals who want to donate towards India’s fight against corona. The individuals who register themselves would be directly contacted by the concerned authorities of States/UTs/MoHFW.
People of Odisha stranded in other States can dial 0674-2392115 and 9438915986 (for data messages). Similarly, people of other States stranded in Odisha can dial 18003456703 for support.
