Rajkot: A farmer has converted his pesticide spraying pumps into sanitizer sprayers and started distributing them free among the people of Rajkot.
Apart from the pumps, Ashwin Kungasia, a corona hero from Raghunandan Society in Popatpara locality of Rajkot, also distributes sanitizers for free.
“I give spraying pumps and sanitizers to those who approach me. I request them to return the pumps after use,” says Kungasia, who has bought 20 pumps.
Kungasia also bought 25 barrels of sanitizer. He first sprayed sanitizer in Popatpara, Miyanavas and Raghunandan Society.
Each pump cost Kungasia Rs2,900 and a sanitizer barrel Rs400.
Kungasia also owns a petrol pump and a farmland. His uncle Dana Kungasia served as chairman of standing committee of Rajkot Municipal Corporation (1996-2000). At the time of drought in 1997, Kungasia provided drinking water through tankers to residents of Popatpara.
