India is at a crucial juncture in its fight against COVID-19. Many people are lending out their help for either the poor or the COVID warriors who are risking their lives to protect others. Meanwhile, Bollywood filmmaker Rohit Shetty has facilitated eight hotels across the city for on-duty policemen to rest and have meals amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The official Twitter handle of Mumbai Police tweeted and thanked Rohit for his gesture.
