How the Rajasthan district went from worst-affected to a model for tackling coronavirus
RUTHLESS containment’ has become a buzzword ever since the ‘Bhilwara model’ darted into the limelight. Bhilwara, 240 km from Jaipur and famous for its textiles, went from being the worst-affected district in Rajasthan to a paradigm in managing COVID-19.

He had the situation under control in just over 10 days.
