To help the Haryana government fight the deadly coronavirus, ace India shooter Manu Bhaker has on Monday donated a sum of Rs one lakh to the state’s relief fund set up for COVID-19 patients.

“This is the time when only the lives of the people of the country matter and all of us will have to do what we can to save them. I contribute 1 lakh rupees to the Haryana Corona Cares Fund by myself and hope that you all too support the country in this hour of disaster by contributing something from the other side,” Bhaker tweeted in Hindi.

Prior to Bhaker, teenage shooter Esha Singh on Sunday decided to donate as much as Rs 30,000 to the Prime Minister’s Relief Fund to help India in its fight against COVID-19.
