Coimbatore: Corona prevention kits brought for distribution through fair price shops at Ilahi Nagar and Vallal Nagar areas in Karumbukadai, Coimbatore were piled outside the shops causing shock among the people in the area.

COVID-19 infections keep going up at a steady clip in Tamil Nadu. In a bid to control the spread, kits containing masks, vitamin C-tablets, arsenic album and Kabasura Kudineer powder are being distributed through all fair price shops across Tamil Nadu.



This being the case, Corona prevention kits brought for distribution at fair price shops at Ilahi Nagar and Vallal Nagar areas in Karumbukadai, Coimbatore were piled carelessly on the roadside in front of the shops due to lack of space causing shock among the people in the area.

There is a possibility that rains could spoil these kits, Public in the area said the kits that lie on the roadside gather dust from the passing vehicles, making them unsuitable for distribution.

They accused that it is sad and ironic that a government that proclaims to be concentrating on the welfare of the people allows corona prevention kits to go in vain due to lack of space in ration shops.
