Hyderabad: The first-ever memorial for COVID-19 victims has been set up at a village in Telangana. This memorial turned out to be the first such tribute in the nation to those who succumbed to the deadly virus.
On Thursday, the memorial was established at Rajannapet village in Rajanna-Sircilla district by Project Madad. Project Madad is a voluntary association of Indian diaspora specialists.
The memorial is dedicated to all the citizens who lost their lives due to COVID-19 in 2020-2021.
Project Madad supposes that "India cannot afford to forget" the near and dear ones lost in this crisis nor let down the caution against COVID-19, the organization stated in a statement on Friday.
