Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot, who presided over the low-key Republic Day celebrations at Field Marshal Manekshaw Parade Ground in Bengaluru on January 26, hailed the efforts and measures taken by the Karnataka Government to contain the spread of Covid-19 pandemic.
“We fought against COVID-19 even in 2021-22 very efficiently while the world struggled to handle it. We are entering 2022 with renewed vigour and optimism,” he said in his Republic Day address, his first since he took over as Governor in July 2021.
