Coimbatore Journalists pay tribute to colleagues who succumbed to COVID

Coimbatore:Coimbatore journalists paid tribute to their colleagues who succumbed to COVID.

With the onset of the pandemic, the nation wide lockdown came into place from March. Due to this, many government offices, private organisations, factories and public transport were closed down. For the past two months, some relaxations have been announced in the lockdown norms.

Even amid the fear of the pandemic and lockdown, the police department, doctors, sanitation workers and journalists continue to function and provide their needed service.

More than 50 journalists took part in this while maintaining social distancing. They also paid silent tribute to the deceased journalists.
