In recognition of their services, an Army contingent today expressed its gratitude to doctors and other frontline workers by distributing gifts to them at Government Medical College here. A pipe band performance was the attraction.

On the other hand, the SGPC also performed the bhog of special Akhand Path initiated for the welfare of frontline warriors.

Panther Division of Vajra Corps reached out to the administration and staff of the isolation facility at Guru Nanak Dev Hospital and quarantine facilities at Drug Rehabilitation Centre, where currently more than 500 persons were quarantined.

The Army Pipe Band of Panther Division played popular military tunes outside these facilities such as ‘Deh Siva Var Mohe’, ‘Kadam kadam badhaye ja’ and ‘Saare jahan se achha’ conveying both gratitude and solidarity to corona warriors.

On the request of the medical staff and employees of Punjab Police, the Army band played their favourite numbers to which they danced.

This was followed by presentation of thanksgiving hampers to the administration and staff of these hospitals. Conservancy staff working within the military cantonments and stations are also playing a pivotal role in maintaining hygiene and sanitation. Food hampers were also provided to the conservancy staff as a token of gratitude. Meanwhile, DC Shivdular Singh Dhillon and Police Commissioner SS Gill attended the bhog of Akhand Path held at Gurdwara Manji Sahib inside the Golden Temple complex.
