Amid prevalent chaos and uncertainty over access to the essential services and commodities during the lockdown, we bring you the latest updates from Ahmedabad.
*The Ahmedabad Railway station at Kalupur has become the first in the country to install a walk through mass sanitizing tunnel. The tunnel was opened following its final inspection by divisional railway manager Deepak Jha.
*Vegetable markets in Jamalpur and Kalupur, the fruit market in Naroda, and a dozen-odd smaller markets in the city have been shut down because they were drawing crowds, flouting the social distancing guideline.
*While the entire government machinery of the country is engaged in its fight against the outbreak of Covid-19, the women of Tankara village in Morbi district have decided to help in their own way — by donating masks made by them at free of cost.
* Even though the manufacturing, supply and sale of essentials including food grains, medicines, milk and vegetables is permitted under a lockdown, shortage of manpower at manufacturer, transporter, distributor and retailer level has triggered a shortage of an array of items used in daily essentials. While medicines are not in short-supply, manpower woes are even delaying the supply of medicines to retail counter.
*State health department officials said that 31,257 persons are covered under cluster containment in Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) area. The area includes 28 clusters and 31 health department teams have initiated door-to-door survey.
