"Citizens across India have shown extraordinary dedication, bravery, and compassion in this moment of singular crisis, and they deserve our support and the gratitude of the nation," the steel magnate said.
COVID-19 was having significant repercussions for people in every continent, Mittal said.
No country will be immune to it and for nations like India which have a vast population, the impact could be very serious, he added. Collaboration in times like these is critical, the industrialist asserted.
Governments, companies, and citizens must therefore work together to pool their resources, and ensure every action is taken to combat the pandemic as swiftly as possible, he said.
