Sindh Information Minister Nasir Hussain Shah has requested the government to change the name of the Corona Tigers Force to something neutral, during a video conference with provincial information ministers and SAPM on Information and Broadcasting Firdous Ashiq Awan.

At the same time, Shah assured that the Sindh government will cooperate with Centre in every way and follow any advisory issued by the premier.

Awan, in response, said that the "cause was more important than the name" and that the Sindh chief minister can discuss this with the prime minister during the National Coordination Committee meeting. Both Shah and Awan agreed that the aim was to overcome the coronavirus health crisis.
