The second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic brought untold pain and suffering with it. But, as the nation struggled for oxygen, medicines, beds and even for hope, there emerged ordinary individuals who, with their extraordinary contributions helped people in dire need of help. As part of the Banega Swasth India campaign, NDTV and Dettol India thank these heroes in a special townhall with Amitabh Bachchan - #SalutingTheCovidHeroes.
Here are the highlights of the #SalutingTheCovidHeroes Townhall with Amitabh Bachchan:
