Hoshiarpur, June 17

Anganwadi workers on Tuesday went from door-to-door to spread awareness about the deadly coronavirus under the aegis of the ‘Mission Fateh’ programme launched by the state government. While 41 vehicles delivered the message to the district’s dwellers, around 1,880 anganwadi workers laid stress on the precautionary guidelines issued by the government.

Deputy Commissioner Apneet Riyait had on Monday awarded the badges of the ‘Mission Fateh’ marking the campaign’s commencement, which will see them visit more than 1400 villages. She also said that the homes of the children coming to the Anganwadis were visited by the workers today. Rewarding the sarpanches of the villages with the ‘Mission Fateh’ badge, she said they would visit the villagers on Wednesday.

Promotional vehicles would be used again the next day for campaigning in the district.

The Deputy Commissioner said that the ‘Mission Fateh’ warriors are to be selected by the Punjab government who upload their photo on the Cova application and the list will then be sent to the district administration so that they can be encouraged through badges and T-shirts.

She informed that the selection has been thrown open only through the application and those interested shall download it on their mobile.
