“We are united in our support to efforts made by PM Narendra Modi to fight Covid-19. We also pray that all this gets over paving way for lifting of the lockdown,” said one Mohd Mukarram, who was among those who had their heads shaved in Mohalla Nala under Dakshin police station where they gathered and shaved one another’s heads while shouting ‘go corona go’ slogan.
“We are also offering prayers so that our country gets free of the deadly virus. The lockdown has hit the source of living of many people. Glass factories in our city provide jobs to thousands but all has come to a halt because of coronavirus outbreak,” he added.
