          RGCB  worked  to  knock  down
          the lockdown!

          Over the  last  few weeks  we have all  been
          overpowered with what is  happening  all  around
          the  world on Covid-19.  The world  has  changed
          ever since Covid-19 started unleashing its lethal
          power. The way we live, work, eat, socialize, etc.
          have  changed  and  have  given  new  dimension
          to  our life.  Our hearts  go out  to everyone  who
          has been impacted by the virus either directly or
          indirectly. We also salute those at the front line,
          medical staff and care givers who put themselves
          at risk to do all it takes to serve others.

          In  much  the  same  way, we  at  RGCB  are  doing
          our  bit  to  fight  against  this  deadly  virus  using
          our  expertise and knowledge gained  over the
          past  three decades to offer solutions  and keep
          everyone safe. Towards this, I want to share some
          of the things done by my very enterprising team at
          RGCB, over the past few weeks when the country
          and RGCB were locked down
