  • The lyrics emphasize on promoting preventive measures such as staying and working from home, maintaining social distancing, washing hands, and also supporting healthcare workers and police personnel.

    Notably, Dharavi has been adversely affected from COVID-19, mainly due to poor living conditions and community toilets, shared by hundreds of residents.

    So far, the slum area has reported more than 600 infections and 20 coronavirus-related deaths.
