All such students were also directed to carry necessary passes along with them and put on their identity card and apron.

One such parent of Silchar, Imad Uddin Bulbul, whose son, a final year student of MBBS wrote on his Facebook wall on Friday: “Our younger son, a student of Final Year MBBS at Silchar Medical College has gone to give corona duty when it was requisitioned by the authority. We allowed him happily. Plz pray for their safety.” The post has received huge applauds from the netizens, and wished all the budding physicians all the best.”

Indeed, the two hands which cure a patient are more holy than the lips that prays. Team way2barak salutes all the doctors, nurses, paramedical staff, ward boys and all others who are now dedicated round the clock serving the deadly coronavirus patients.
