The Prime Minister Office has released the terms of reference for the Corona Tigers Relief Force, which would help authorities in providing relief to people in times of disaster.

According to the TORs released by the PMO, the volunteer force will "remain stand by" until asked to work on any assignment, which would be conveyed to them through the district commissioner or "authorised stakeholder".

The notification clarified that the volunteers may be asked to arrange their own logistics for which they would not receive reimbursements, nor would they be entitled to wages or salaries as the assignments handed to them will not be considered as employment.

While members of the force will be entitled to "services, facilities and legal protection meant for a common man", they should "accept the tasks and risks associated with the choice to provide volunteer services".
