RAJASTHAN: A modest but dedicated husband-wife team has emerged as Covid warriors in Rajasthan’s Jodhpur district. Raju Vyas, a headmaster at a government school at Pratap Nagar, and his wife Chandra Harsh, a Grade One nurse at the Ummed Hospital, have offered a lifeline to saving dozens of corona-infected patients in the city. Jodhpur is the hometown of Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot.
The couple has converted a part of Surajdevi Roopa Devi Pushtikar private school run by Pushkarna community into a mini Covid care centre to help people battle against the pandemic. Patients are provided medicines, treatment and even oxygen- equipped beds. In addition, the centre provides isolation facilities for those with less serious conditions and food to all.
