One doesn’t need money and prowess to help others in the fight against Covid and instead only needs a sense of humanity to help society and nation defeat the crisis.
This has been proved by one of the most trusted and acclaimed names in the field of painting and sculpture in Dhanbad, Bhushan Singh, popularly known as Bhushan Art.
Bhushan is spreading awareness among citizens by making wall paintings to raise awareness about the need to wage a united war against Covid.

His son Gaurav Singh, also an artist, has teamed up with him in the awareness drive. It started on Wednesday at major spots of town, including near Puja Talkies and also near Golf Ground.
“We have continuously worked for several months for Dhanbad Municipal Corporation making wall paintings all across the town spreading awareness among people about the significance of cleanliness as part of Swachh Bharat Mission during 2020-21,” said Bhushan to The Telegraph Online.
“In one of the paintings, we have shown the pandemic rising out from China and the Indian defence forces leading the fight by setting up hospitals, airlifting doctors, medical supplies, and large cryogenic oxygen containers,” said Bhushan and added the painting is aimed at driving the point that instead of indulging in petty politics, everybody should join hands to overcome the difficult times.

“A person can’t remain oblivious to the surroundings and thus if we can appeal to people to adopt cleanliness, sanitation and hygiene in their daily life to make the community, town and nation a more liveable place it is also our responsibility to make people aware about the need to observe social distancing norms, Covid protocols etc,” said Bhushan.
Singh has earlier made some paintings at Randhir Verma Chowk of Dhanbad during Anna Hazare's agitation on Lokpal bill.
“We will make similar paintings at other places of the town to make people aware about priorities during Covid,” said Gaurav Singh.
