Hubli, April 6: A disinfection tunnel was installed at the entrance of the Agricultural Produce Market Committee (APMC) market here on Sunday.
The tunnel, installed with the help of Young India.org, sprays people with a small percentage of Sodium hypochlorite solution through nozzles in order to sanitise them before they enter the market.
"It is helpful for all the farmers, vegetable vendors and other people who are coming and going to the APMC market. This is very useful," said Jagdish Shettar, Minister of Large and Medium Scale Industries, Karnataka.
With regards to any plans of more devices being added in the near future, Shettar added: "Firstly, we will have to see what would be the public's reaction and then, later on, we will decide."
President of Confederation of Indian Industry, Hubli VSV Prasad said that the setting up of this tunnel can help curtail the spread of Coronavirus "by disinfecting the bacteria of the body".
While it was on the trial stage right now, Prasad hopes that the trial is successful and the chamber is set up in more public places. With regards to the cost of the tunnel, he said: "The cost is around Rs 1.5 Lac to Rs 2 Lac and hopefully it will come down once we go for production," he added.
Srinivas Joshi, a representative of Young India.org, speaking to news agency said: "We have added 1.8 percent of Sodium hypochlorite solution in 100 litres of water. It is pumped through high-pressure pumps and sprayed like a mist via nozzles for 3-5 seconds which is very less time to cause any kind of allergy."
"People who are allergic to chemicals should avoid going through this chamber. We are putting signboard very soon," he added.
The number of positive cases of coronavirus in the country continues to surge. As per the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, the total number of confirmed COVID-19 cases is 3,577 with 83 deaths.

All these celebrations started from fatimaid era in Eygpt which belongs to shia sects and then spread to sunni lands which was implemented by the governor of iraq 600 years after Prophet passed away. I request those who celebrate this birthday to READ IQRA read read about the seerah of Prophet Muhammad by yourself.. U will know the REAL LOVE to follow prophet Muhammad Pbuh.
Islamic scriptures do not support any kind of birth day celebration as part of islamic rites... people should avoid these waste expences & energies instead utilize it to promote values of prophet's teachings.
Is it permitted in Islam to celebrate B’day?
Did Prophet (pbuh) celebrate his B’day?
If B’day celebration is permitted in Islam then why did prophet(pbuh) not celebrate his or his parents or his wives or his children B’day?
Where is it told in Quran or Teaching of prophet(pbuh) that color green represents Islam?
