BOUQUETS AND BRICKBATS TO FRONTLINE WARRIORS IN INDIA DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC: A REVIEW

Dr. B. M. Vashisht, Dr. Dhriti Bapna

Abstract :

The corona virus disease has spread rapidly throughout the world causing huge morbidity. The frontline warriors in combating this situation are health care providers, police personnel, sanitation workers and essential service providers. The Indians showed their gratitude towards them by ways like clapping or ringing bells in the balconies, showering flower petals, lighting up lamps, candles, diyas, etc. On one hand, when the nation is appraising the efforts of the corona warriors; some people are creating hurdles and misbehaving with them. Some doctors had even reported being evicted and attacked. In various regions, health workers and police officials came under heavy stone pelting by irate mob. The endless sacrifices of the corona warriors cannot be counted. But resistance from a section of the society only adds to their plight. Hence, security of the frontline warriors should be of utmost importance for the nation.
