Great initiative by the youth
While browsing The Daily Star's website, I recently came across a report of a social organisation led by the youth, that had the ingenuity to set up a mini booth-like structure, set up with laser sensor that activates when it detects movement and sprays disinfectant on the person walking through it. The installation can remain operational with a two-hour battery backup and is fitted with two sprayers along with a 20-litre tank which has the capacity to disinfect about 120 people.
Even though it is a pilot project and has been introduced in one area of the capital, I highly appreciate the initiative of the youth to come forward with such a timely innovation during the ongoing crisis. I would urge NGOs and if possible, government bodies to look into the possibility of helping the youth organisation to mass produce the device. That way, if every neighbourhood has a few installed, it would help disinfect the people of that neighbourhood, thereby reducing the chances of the infection spreading.
