The forum said it has donated the mask to help the district administration and health department fight the coronavirus pandemic.

The East Siang Christian Forum (ESCF) on Monday handed over a sum of Rs 2 lakh and 1000 surgical mask to district disaster management officer (DDMO) in Pasighat.

The forum said it has donated the mask to help the East Siang district administration and health department fight the coronavirus pandemic and its possible spread in the district.

The East Siang district administration including the police and health department have been relentlessly working day and night for us so we thought they needed all these face masks for their safety, said ESCF general secretary Atem Modi.

The ESCF has further appealed every citizen of Pasighat to stay at their homes and strictly follow the government’s directives and provisions of lockdown for the safety of their families and communities.
