SHAHABAD(GOLD CHUGH,): In the Corona era, if we talk about Corona Warriors, the tenyear-old little Jia of Shahabad leads the race. Therefore, the Chief Minister's political secretary Krishan Bedi met and encouraged the girl and said that Jia would be rewarded by the Kurukshetra administration. The former Minister of State said that it would be his endeavor to get this little warrior introduced to the Chief Minister as well. It is noteworthy that during the hard lockdown period, when the police contingent used to put a block on Devi Mandir Road and Sabzi Mandi Road, during that time, Jia used to arrange for refreshments for those police employees and gave refreshments with her own hands.Apart from this, she also used to inspire people to wear masks and follow social distancing. She became a role model for the youngsters. Jia was also encouraged by the then in-charge Sunil Vats and thereafter, like outpost in-charge Gurminder Singh and others, her work was appreciated a lot.
