In a bid to maintain physical distance amid coronavirus pandemic, a milk delivery man found a unique way to keep the supply of essential goods unhindered. While taking to Twitter, an IAS Officer, Nitin Sangwan shared a photo in which one can see the milkman’s innovative idea to maintain a safe distance between him and his customers.
In the photo, which has taken the internet by storm, one can see a customer standing a few feet away from the milkman, while he himself is wearing protective gear, including mask and gloves. The milk delivery man can be seen pouring milk in a funnel, which is connected to a pipe. While the customer is seen holding a bowl just below the other end of the pipe, the unique technique ensures zero contact.
Good to see that some people go extra mile to keep themselves and others safe.
