The Islamabad Capital Administration (ICT) on Monday has decided to install 20 sanitizing walk-through gates at different prominent locations of the city to control the spread of coronavirus. The work on installation of sanitizing walk-through gates has been commenced.
The Capital Development Authority (CDA) is assisting the ICT Administration in installation of these sanitizing walk-through gates. People will walk through these sanitizing gates spraying disinfectants against coronavirus before entering the areas.
Initially these sanitizing disinfectants walk-through gates would be installed at different locations including two at Sabzi Mandi, three at Pak Secretariat, eight gates at different Katchi Abadies, four at Panahgahs, and other public places. After walking though these gates, disinfectants will help kill the viruses.
In this connection, 20 feet long sanitizing walkthrough gates are being installed at Sabzi Mandi one at entry and other one at exit of the mandi. The length of these gates will help remove coronavirus from hundreds of people entering the mandi on a daily basis. In order to ensure provision of chlorine-mixed spray round-the-clock, water bouzers have also been arranged to ensure provision of spray in the tanks attached with these sanitizing walk through gates.
The ICT Administration is also ensuring that the chlorine-mixed spray be carried out in accordance with the SOPs issued by the Ministry of Health.
