HOLLONGI, Apr 28: An automatic mechanized sanitization tunnel has been installed here to sanitize vehicles and people entering the state.
The tunnel has been set up 50 metres ahead of the regular police check gate, so as to ensure proper sanitization.
EAC Mudo Tamo informed that the tunnel has been installed by the PHE department in collaboration with the Papum Pare district administration.
“Staffers of the PHED will operate the automatic mechanized sanitization tunnel. The medicines used in it are being provided by the disaster management and the health departments,” he said.
Tamo also informed that the NDRF along with the fire and emergency service is assisting the administration in sanitizing the Hollongi check gate.
