Amid the Coronavirus pandemic the whole world is suffering and unity is the only ray of hope for people to sail through this time.  Recently, the Indian flag was projected onto the might Matterhorn Mountain in the Swiss Alps to spread hope and express solidarity to India during these tough times.

According to News18, Hotsteffer said, âMatterhorn stands out like a lighthouse, which triggered the idea of beaming out messages.â He added, "Light is hope. So if you do a message with light in such a situation as we are in now, you give that hope -- especially with this iconic, standalone, pyramid-shaped, incredibly strong mountain.â The message is well-received by the Indians and the internet is now flooded with gratitude comments and re-tweets.

Hereâs what the desi Twitter have to say about this-
