The Nepal unit of the Gandhi Peace Foundation has honoured two Indian Christians for their service to the poor affected by the nationwide lockdown because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The foundation applauded James Massey, secretary, All India Christian Congress and Baptist Mission Church of India, and Minakshi Singh, chairperson of Unity in Christ, a registered NGO.

The foundation is an international body that promotes the ideals of Mahatma Gandhi by propagating non-violence, tolerance, global brotherhood and world peace.

Indian Prime Minister NarendraModi, who imposed a 21-day lockdown on March 25, wants people to stay home, stay safe and stay alive. And on April 14, he extended it to May 3 as the government’s continued efforts to contain the coronavirus pandemic.
