Doctors who are vital in any social settings often let go of occasions and celebrations to take care of the patients, and this year, they are under the added pressure of the pandemic.

Away from home, doctors of Delhi's Safdarjung Hospital will also forgo celebrations to take care of their patients.

Talking about the same, Rural Doctor's Association (RDA) doctor Aashu said that serving the people is their first duty and that's why it is fine if they do not celebrate Diwali this year.

"We will celebrate Diwali properly next year," Dr Aashu added.
