International Nurses Day 2020: Mumbai mayor salute nurses working amid COVID-19 crisis

On the Occasion of the International Nurses Day, Mumbai mayor Kishori Pednekar, said that she salutes the nurses who are working day in and day out to help citizens amid COVID-19.

"The doctors and nurses are like 'devdoot' on earth. Hats off to those in service. I offer my salute to these frontline workers."

Earlier last month Pednekar, a former nurse, donned her old uniform again to serve COVID-19 patients in the city.

Bharat Kumar Raut, former Sena MP, tweeted, "Kishori Pednekar, Mayor of Mumbai, has gone back to her profession as medical nurse & joined Nair hospital where she was working before becoming Corporator. Three kudos to her sense of loyalty to her profession & care for the people."
