"I would see policemen asking people to use a mask.So, I thought I should also do it, as people were not following protocol,"Amit told HT.
The local police honored Amit with a Pahari cap,snacks, and an energy drink. Amit and his brothers were gifted shoes andclothes. Many people from across the nation have come forward to fund Amit'seducation which is a great initiative.

This action of a little boy has made a lot of differenceas the Central Ministry of Health and Family Welfare on Tuesday chided thegovernment of Himachal Pradesh over the widespread break of Covid safetyregulations as tourists have reached hill stations to escape the scorching heatof Delhi NCR even when there is a risk of the third wave.
