Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s wife and daughter are making masks at home for the family and for others who need, for protection from coronavirus, the minister said. Last week, the government recommended that people cover their faces with homemade, reusable masks when they step out of their homes as part of measures to stem the spread of coronavirus in the country. Prime Minister Narendra Modi too has appealed to the people to wear masks and also make them at home.
“We should all try and do our bit for society in these difficult times. Proud of my wife Mridula and daughter Naimisha who are making safety masks for all of us at home, and also for others who need it. No better time to hone your skills and learn new ones,” Dharmendra Pradhan tweeted. In photos tweeted by the minister, Mridula Pradhan and Naimisha Pradhan are seen sitting on the floor, as they stitch white face masks using a traditional sewing machine.
