Further adding, Anupam said that we all need to come together and help one another as responsible citizens of this country. “I think most of citizens are thinking right now to help the next citizen, so that they can breathe properly.

No one is responsible for this pandemic, entire world is reeling under it. I have seen devastation in America, Europe and other foreign county due to this pandemic. We can help people; we can offer them compassion, some hope and equipment”
