Bizman sanitises autorickshaws in Steel City

Jamshedpur: Businessman Vivek Roongta along with his team on Monday sanitise autorickshaws at several stands of the three-wheeler in the city.

Roongta said the drive is taken up to check the rising Covid cases in the city area. He added that the target is to sanitise around 600 autorickshaws per day for five days to break the transmission chain through the public service vehicles.



The Steel City businessman further said his team is also distributing face masks and sanitizers among the autorickshaw drivers. Awareness programmes are also conducted for the drivers so that they can follow the protocols laid down by the government to control the pandemic.

As of Monday morning, East Singhbhum has a cumulative virus caseload of 2,169 cases of which 1,512 are active. A total of 37 people have also died in the district from the viral disease.

Meanwhile, the district administration served notices to a branded garment showroom in Bistupur main road to follow the virus protocols, failing which action will be taken against them. On Sunday, a team of district officials conducted a surprise check of the showrooms and those found not following the protocols, including their customers, were served notice.

Special teams are also keeping a close watch on those in home quarantine even as the district health department started rapid antigen testing in containment zones across the city. Around 28 people were tested through the method on Sunday.
