Guardian Minister Dr Nitin Raut hoisted national flag at Divisional Commissioner’s office Civil Lines. The program was attended by few officials only due to COVID-19 restriction.

He added that “As India entered in Phase 3 of vaccination drive all 18 years and above should get them registered and get the vaccination jab and help the city recoverâ€.
