“Due to an over-busy schedule of duty in the QRT team last year, I delayed my marriage ceremony and also didn’t visit home for around 3 months,” he said.  Ashok said as a part of the sampling team, he has conducted more than 1000 RAT as well as RTPCR tests.

“After completing my day shift at OPD when I remove my PPE kit, the sweat coming out from each single pore of my body makes me feel more worthy and satisfied which cannot be measured by any worldly tool,” Ashok added.

He urged the people from all walks of life not to pay heed to rumours about vaccine and get vaccinated as early as possible, follow all the necessary guidelines to stay safe.
