As COVID-19 cases across the country continue to rise, a helpline is being started to help jawans, their families and retired personnel cope with the pandemic, Director-General of the Indo-Tibetan Border Police SS Deswal said in a letter to all jawans.

He further informed that a fully equipped COVID Care Centre has been made functional at the Chhawla campus in Delhi.

"A helpline is being started to help jawans, families and retired personnel. A COVID Care Centre has been made functional at the Chhawla campus in Delhi. It is fully equipped. All our hospitals have been activated to treat our Himveers and their families," Deswal said in the letter.
