Entire human race is in a fight with #COVID19 and the World has lost more than 2 lakh lives in a span of three months. No continent has been spared and most countries are in a state of war with this invisible enemy.
#OdishaFightsCorona

This war is being fought by our doctors and healthcare professionals in the front lines, assisted by a huge army of support services. In the absence of any cure or vaccine, those fighting the #COVID19 war for us, are taking a huge risk by putting themselves in the front.

We have a rich tradition of honoring our brave hearts who fight for the country and acknowledge their supreme sacrifice. In the same spirit we propose to recognize and honor the valiant work being done by our #COVID19 warriors. #OdishaCares

#Odisha Govt in convergence with Govt of India initiative will ensure that ₹50 lakh is given for all health personnel (private and public) and members of all other support services who lose their precious lives in the fight against #COVID19. #OdishaCares

The state will treat them as Martyrs and provide State funeral with State Honors. A detailed scheme of awards will be instituted recognizing their unparalleled sacrifice. These awards will be given on national days.

The families of all Govt personnel (medical & others) will continue to receive full salary till retirement. Appeal all that as a community we should be very grateful for this bold & selfless service being rendered by our doctors, health professionals and other support services.

Any act against them is an act against the State & any act that will disturb or dishonor their work will attract strict criminal action including the provisions of NSA. The 4.5 Cr people of #Odisha and the State stand solidly behind our #Covid19 Warriors.
