  • As a token of appreciation to the frontline warriors in the fight against COVID-19, the Indian Armed Forces began a flypast Sunday morning.

    Indian Air Force (IAF) helicopters also showered flower petals over hospitals across the country.

    This "gesture of special gratitude" to India's "corona warriors" was announced on Friday by the Chief of Defence Staff, General Bipin Rawat, and the three service chiefs.
