 After having tested positive for Covid, Vasco Police Inspector Nilesh Rane recovered from the virus and resumed duties at the Vasco police station.

Speaking to reporters, DySP Desai said he was proud of his officer.

"I welcome PI Rane back to the Vasco police station, as he has resumed duty after recovering from coronavirus.”

“He had tested positive for Covid on August 29. PI Rane and his team had been frontline warriors in creating mass awareness among the public and to stop the spread of coronavirus.”

“He also effectively handled law and order in different containment zones within the jurisdiction of Vasco police station.”

“I congratulate him on his recovery and wish him good health for the future. What impressed me about this officer is that immediately after resuming duty, he volunteered to donate his plasma," said DySP Desai.

When contacted, PI Rane confirmed that he had decided to donate his plasma to save the lives of others struggling from Covid.

"I have recovered and resumed duties, but I want to appeal to people not to take coronavirus lightly. I also appeal to people to maintain the required SMS (Sanitisation, Masks, Social distancing) as precautionary measures.”

“I have decided to donate my plasma in a bid to help people who are battling Covid. Nothing is more important than taking steps to save valuable lives. I will be attending screening camps and after my parameters match, I will definitely volunteer to donate my plasma," said Rane.
