Plea in Rajya Sabha to provide free face masks to the poor
A demand to provide free of cost face masks to poor and vulnerable sections of the society to help them combat the threat of the COVID-19 pandemic was made in Rajya Sabha today.
Raising the issue through a Zero Hour mention, CPI (M) member Binoy Viswam said using soap and wearing a mask are the best preventive measures against the COVID-19.
But, 30% of the population does not know the importance of this and disregards the need for masks either because of poverty or illiteracy, he said. – PTI
