COIMBATORE: Residents in some rural areas are taking up the responsibility of spraying disinfectants in their localities as a precautionary measure to keep Covid-19 at bay.
In one such move, residents and members of residents’ welfare association of Rayon Nagar in Sirumugai near the city prepared a natural disinfectant using ingredients such as turmeric, salt, alum, cow dung and cow urine.
According to a resident, they prepared around 600 liltres of disinfectant. With the help of village panchayat representatives, the solution was taken to houses in two autorickshaws and distributed to people, who sprayed the same around their houses on Sunday and Monday.
Over the past few weeks, local communities across the state have been preparing natural disinfectants using easily available materials and spraying them in their localities.
