While people are rushing out to buy face masks and sanitisers to keep themselves safe from the coronavirus, Cuttack-Barabati Congress MLA Mohammed Moquim on Tuesday visited busy lanes in Ward-17 of Cuttack and distributed these essential items among the public.
Moquim encouraged the citizens to be alert and adopt healthy practices to tackle the deadly virus. He began the distribution drive from Ward-17 and would continue it in other areas of his constituency in coming days.
In another joint awareness drive in the city, the Commissionerate police and the Khan Nagar Youth Association distributed masks among people near the Badambadi Bus-Stand and sensitised them about precautions to fight back
COVID-19.
“Thousands of people commute to/from the Badambadi Bus-Stand. They are highly prone to the virus. We aim to make people aware of the preventives to save them from coming in contact with coronavirus,” said a member the association.
