Now old buses converted into mobile sanitizer tunnels in the cultural city Mysuru

Mobile sanitizer tunnels are recommended in the places of public use to ensure that people will not infect others. But setting up such tunnels requires both time and investment. In Mysuru, the KSRTC Urban and Rural divisions have converted old, unused buses into tunnels helping the authorities to beat the coronavirus. These buses are named as Saarige Sanjivini.

Mysuru: After Indian railways converting the old coaches into the isolation wards, now the state-run KSRTC has started converting its old, unused buses meant for scrapping to built sanitizer tunnels which are a key to stopping the spread of the coronavirus.

Mobile sanitizers are built across the state and country where the public gather in a big number. Disinfectants are sprayed from these buses. The public needs to pass through these tunnels before reaching the designated area.

While walking inside the bus, disinfectant will be sprayed from nozzles sanitizing everyone who walks through.
