10 hands-free washbasins installed in mandis
Description
The district administration has made special arrangements for the safety of farmers in mandis. The administration has come up with a mechanism that will ensure that farmers wash their hands without touching the tap and soap.Automatic hands-free washbasins have been set up in mandis that come under all five market committees of the district so that farmers first clean their hands thoroughly to protect themselves and others from the coronavirus.DC Apneet Riyat said 10 such washbasins had been installed in the mandis — two in Hoshiarpur, one each in Garhashankarand Sailakhurd, two each in Tanda, Dasuya and Mukerian.She said for these washbasins, separate large water tanks had been installed. The DC added that there are two points on the right and left side under the washbasins. Pressing the right point with the foot releases water and pressing the left point produces liquid soap so that the farmers can wash their hands properly using water and soap as per the requirement. In this way, the farmers can clean their hands without touching anything.District Mandi Officer Tejinder Singh said besides 10 special washbasins in the mandis, sanitisers have also been arranged for the safety of farmers in the mandis. — OC
