The country is currently struggling with the coronavirus epidemic and all doctors, nurses and many healthcare workers are serving the patients. All Indians are saluting all these contributions at this time. At the same time, some people pelted stones on the medical team in Indore.

Former captain of the football team Baichung Bhutia, has requested the Prime Minister to take strict action against all the culprits. Bhutia also said that medical personnel are very important to us. They should be provided with all safety equipment and necessary accessories. He said "I request Narendra Modi to take strict action against the attackers who struck the doctors on the frontlines of the COVID-19 in Indore. Health care workers are especially to be appreciated and looked after first, as they are most vulnerable to infection."

Bhutia, who has represented 107 international matches for the country, said, "Medical personnel should provide PPE kits and N95 masks all over the country." The 43-year-old former Sikkim footballer also expressed concern over the lack of testing facilities in the northeastern states of the country. He said, "Investigation is very important to prevent the spread of infection. All should be investigated.
