From the Desk of the Editor-in-Chief

The global crisis of Covid 2019 has taken many lives, despite the dedicated efforts of doctors, Nurses, Police and public servants. These heroes have dared to fight the Covid 2019 and have lost their lives while on duty. They lost their lives, and their families lost them. 

Folklore Foundation Family salutes those Corona Heroes who have considered duty as important and have never been afraid of death.

This volume is dedicated in the memory of these UNSUNG HEROES.
