But this will be the country's way of thanking you for your services and showing that we respect your efforts," Kejriwal said, adding even Rs 100 crore is nothing before the efforts made by the medical professionals."Whether they are from private or government sector, it doesn't matter. Their families will be provided Rs 1 crore each as a mark of respect for their services," he said.The step was taken after two mohalla clinic doctors and an oncologist from Delhi State Cancer Institute tested positive.Delhi has reported 120 coronavirus cases so far.IANS New Delhi For Latest Updates Please-
