Coronavirus is a major threat to the world right now. The virus is growing rapidly in India. The confirmed coronavirus cases reached 500 in the country while 10 people have lost their lives. India is a developing country and is not very advanced in terms of medical facilities and equipment. As a result, many medical machines and medicines are exported which requires capital.?
Therefore, Gautam Gambhir donated Rs 50 lakh from his MPLAD fund for this noble cause. Gambhir posted a letter to Delhi’s Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Twitter for the same.?

Gautam Gambhir slams quarantine offenders?
India observed Janta Curfew on Sunday from 7 am to 9 pm on the request of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This was done to prevent the further spread of the COVID-19 virus. It was a huge success.
Almost everyone obliged to the PM’s decision and stayed indoors on Sunday. Also, section-144 is imposed in many places in the country due to which no more than 4 people can be present at a public place. However, some people came on roads after the curfew ended at 9 pm
This violation of rules didn’t go well with the cricketer turned politician Gautam Gambhir. He lashed out at such people and also gave them some peace of mind through his tweet.?
Gambhir tweeted, “Khud bhee jayenge aur parivaar ko bhee leke jayenge, quarantine or jail (either you go to quarantine with family or you go to jail)?

खुद भी जाएँगे और परिवार को भी ले जाएँगे !
Quarantine या जेल !पूरे समाज पर ख़तरा ना बने और घर पर रहें ! जंग नौकरी और व्यापार से नहीं, ज़िंदगी से है ! ज़रूरी सेवायें देने वाले परेशान ना हों इसका भी ध्यान रखें !
LOCKDOWN !!!! का पालन करें
