I will be staying here for some more time as my village has been sealed,” said 41-year old Riyazuddin. Our religious head had asked us all to consult doctors, clean our hands and follow the norms of social distancing norms to keep the deadly virus at bay.

After I return home, I will vigorously create awareness among the people about the need for social distancing, wearing masks and remaining clean.
