Kolkata/IBNS: The COVID-19 pandemic saw many citizens go out of their way to help the afflicted people, especially during the second wave.

Popular FM radio station Mirchi recently held a programme named ‘Mirchi Ka Salaam’,in Kolkata, to honor such citizens.

These citizens had voluntarily responded to the crisis in more ways than one.

Some of their activities included maintaining registers of availability of hospital beds or oxygen cylinders, networking over telephones and digital media to share relevant information, delivering oxygen cylinders and medicines, helping to procure blood, helping senior citizens through various difficult situations, including getting them cooked food, to name a few.

Mirchi’s VP and Business Director for West Bengal, UP-Bihar and North-east, Rakesh, said "We salute these ordinary people for their extraordinary effort and we ask everyone to stay safe and maintain protocols.”

Although rain played a spoilsport, it could not damp the spirit of the people who had gathered to attend the ceremony.
