It could be losing a loved one or losing a job or loss in business or just the mental trauma because of the present situation.

New Delhi/Kolkata:
The best way to protect our people against future waves of COVID-19 is to centrally procure the vaccines and decentralise the execution of the inoculation drive, Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik has said today. In a letter written to his counterparts across the country, he referred to the unabated pandemic as perhaps the greatest challenge faced by the nation since the freedom struggle.
He recommended that all states come together to form a consensus on the matter in the true spirit of cooperative federalism to save live and livelihoods.
