Coronavirus: Trichy Corporation gives hand sanitizer to bus passengers

TRICHY: The Trichy Corporation on Thursday launched a drive to give hand sanitizer on passengers boarding and disembarking from city buses.
“As there are constraints in providing handwash facility at bus stops, we decided to give hand sanitizer during peak hours. All passengers waiting for buses and disembarking at bus stops will be covered,” said V Tirupati, sanitary inspector, Trichy Corporation.
As many as 160 bus stops in Trichy were manned by civic body workers to give hand sanitizer on passengers to prevent spread of Covid-19.
Forty workers have been deployed in each of the four zones of the corporation to promote personal hygiene. The workers were provided with masks and gloves.
