In a bid to fight against the COVID-19 and to contain its spread, the Delhi government has installed two sanitization tunnels at the gates of Azadpur Mandi. Asia’s largest wholesale market,Azadpur Mandi has been equipped with the Full-body Sanitization Machines. Now the every person entering Azadpur Mandi will have to go through the tunnel to get sanitized.
Development Minister of Delhi Mr Gopal Rai said that depending on the success of the system the Delhi government will install such machines in all the mandis of Delhi.
"The Azadpur Mandi is functional as it supplies the essential items for the residents of entire Delhi. The Delhi government has installed two full-body sanitization machines at the gate of the mandi. Every person entering and exiting the Mandi will have to pass through these machines. This will protect the people from the COVID-19 infection," said Mr Rai.
He added that every person who enters or exits the mandi will have to go through this machine where disinfectant will be sprayed automatically on them and sanitize them. "This machine is developed by IIT, Delhi. Depending on the success of the sanitisation units will be set up at all the mandis of Delhi," said Mr Rai.
"I have instructed the traders to maintain and ensure social distancing. The government has also marked circles in front of the shops. In one circle one person will stand and this is to ensure social distancing. Special attention will be given to the cleanliness of the mandi. I have instructed all the labourers and traders to wear masks."
He further added that the Delhi government is distributing masks to everyone here. To sensitize the workers here we are distributing pamphlets and disinfectants are being sprayed daily at the mandi. We are also providing morning and evening meals to the drivers and labourers of the mandi.
