"In these uncertain times of COVID-19 when all our focus and resources have been on combating and eradicating this pandemic, we have decided to stand by the call and directives given by the state and central government and help the Government overcome this virus. We urge every citizen of the country to follow these directions to make the process smoother. We also make an appeal to all to come forward with voluntary donations to the different COVID Relief Funds."
