Livinguard AG launches LivinguardCARES in India to empower local communities in the face of the pandemic
Kolkata, Feb 16 (UNI) The pandemic has changed the way the world behaves; it has changed what was once perceived normal.

Addressing a public awareness rally attended by students and academia at the International Islamic University here on Friday, joint secretary of the climate change ministry Syed Mujtaba Hussain said the widespread use of polythene bags had deepened the country’s burden of environmental degradation, which had worsened the state of public health.
