Karnataka govt launches 'sanitizer bus' to disinfect people in public places

In a bid to enhance its preventive actions against COVID-19, the Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) is converting its old buses that were slated to be scrapped into 'sanitizer buses' to disinfect people in public places. The transport corporation launched one such bus on Saturday in Bengaluru.

KSRTC Managing Director Shivayogi C Kalasad said the sanitizer buses branded as "Sarige Sanjeevini" will be operated in the city limits for the benefit of police personnel, health workers, pourakarmikas and others who are carrying out essential services during the lockdown.

"There are various measures to curb the spread of COVID-19, this is one among them. We can’t say that the sanitizer buses will completely disinfect people. They have to follow other measures such as maintaining personal hygiene, washing hands, etc. This is one of the proactive measures taken by the corporation," said Kalasad.
