Great Honour: IAF Showers Flowers On Gandhi Hospital

Expressing the gratitude of the defence forces to the Coronavirus frontline warriors, an Indian Air Force helicopter showered flower petals over the Telangana state-run Gandhi Hospital in Hyderabad. It was part of the nationwide thanksgiving effort by the armed forces to honour doctors, paramedics, sanitation staff and other frontline workers battling Coronavirus.

At around 10.30 am, the Chetak helicopter hovered over the hospital and showered petals as doctors, nurses, paramedical, sanitation and other staff and police personnel assembled near the premises.

This is the third major display of gratitude to health workers, following Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s request to Indians to clap for the Covid-19 warriors from their balconies, followed by people switching off their lights and lighting candles and diyas on the PM’s request.
