After launching an effective campaign to create awareness among people about Covid-19, the Punjab School Education Department has now launched another campaign to put 'fattis' (wooden writing tablet) in vehicles.

Disclosing this here today, a spokesperson for the Education Department said under 'Mission Fateh', the department had decided to distribute splints for hanging in cars and other vehicles. These 'fattis' would be distributed free of cost. The campaign has been launched from Gurdaspur district and in a few days, it will be rolled out across the state.

According to the spokesperson, teachers have already launched a pledge campaign to create awareness among people regarding Covid. Teachers and students of various schools have been also making posters and sketches to disseminate more information about the pandemic. These posters pledge to follow the instructions issued by the Punjab Government and the rules applicable while traveling by private or public transport, besides washing hands, wearing masks and maintaining social distance, to make 'Mission Fateh' a complete success.

At the same time, awareness is being spread through posters to download the Cova app so that the message and method of fighting coronavirus can be better communicated to everyone.
