The current toll of coronavirus cases in our national capital has risen to 1,578 with a death toll of 32. These desperate times require everyone’s contribution to come ahead and take a stand for their fellow citizens. While a sizeable population stays indoors to combat this pandemic, the poor and needy are not left with many options. In such a dire time, a ray of hope appears. A Delhi based fashion designer makes khadi masks for the poor.
What’s In It?
Delhi-based fashion designer Manish Tripathi is designing khadi face masks to fight COVID-19 and he has a higher cause. “I am preparing these masks for the people who can’t afford to buy masks. Then I will try selling them online and whatever amount is collected will be contributed to the PM-CARES Fund to fight the coronavirus,” Manish said. Manish tweeted about his initiative and mentioned that during these tough times, as a responsible citizen its everyone’s duty to distribute handmade cotton masks to people who can’t afford it.
