Singh was accompanied by PCI Governing Board member Ashok Bedi to hand over the kits. The kits were manufactured in Bengaluru. “We are going to hand over 1,000 PPE kits to the union sports secretary on Monday as our donation to the central government,” he added.
Last month, the PCI staff donated one-day salary to the PM-Cares Fund.
The COVID-19 pandemic has so far killed more than 800 people in India.
