COVID-19: CRPF donates 1 lakh surgical masks to AIIMS
The three-layered masks have been prepared at a CRPF facility in the national capital by the family welfare association of the paramilitary.
The country's largest paramilitary force had set up a mechanised masks-making automated machine in order to produce the face cover at a rapid pace for supply to not only its nationwide units but also to other organisations.
"These three-ply surgical face masks will play a pivotal role in safeguarding the lives of our frontline healthcare workers, one of the precious resources in our fight against the COVID-19 pandemic," Medical Superintendent of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) D K Sharma said in a communication thanking the force.
The force said on its Twitter handle that this was a humble contribution to the premier medical institute.
A senior official said the masks have been given to the AIIIMS free of cost.
