New Delhi, April 28 (SocialNews.XYZ) Congress leader Jitin Prasada has posted a video on social media which shows him blowing a 'shankh (conch shell) at his home town in Uttar Pradesh.
After blowing the conch shell, Prasada is seen explaining the benefits of 'shankhnaad', saying, "It is assumed since yesteryears that when the sound of conch is blown, no negative energy can come in the area."
He said there is a scientific aspect to it as Covid-19 is a disease linked to the respiratory system and blowing conch shell can help strengthen the lungs. This way, coronavirus can be prevented though there is no scientific evidence to support the claim.
Till now, there is no vaccine or cure to this dreaded virus except preventive mechanisms which can isolate the virus.
The Centre is constantly providing PPE kits, testing kits, masks, medicines and all possible help to the states in the fight against Covid-19.
Earlier on two occasions, on the appeal of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, people beat utensils and lit lamps to honour the corona warriors.
