In Tamil Nadu's Srivilliputtur, man donates masks on his birthday

MADURAI: A college student in Srivilliputtur donated masks and hand sanitizers to around 500 people on his birthday on Saturday.
Muthu Jeyabal, 22, son of Vairamani of Mangapuram in Srivilliputtur, said that he usually distributes food to poor people on his birthday.
This year, many old-age homes and orphanages were not accepting outside meals due to the Covid-19 pandemic, so he decided to use that money to buy masks and sanitizers for people, who needed it.
He said that he donated masks and sanitizers to create awareness on the use of these two items during the Covid-19 crisis. He and his friends distributed the masks to vendors and roadside dwellers and told them to use it regularly. He said that he noticed many people without masks as they did not have access to it.
