Keeping devotees safe from Covid-19

Assistant High Commission of India in Rajshahi yesterday installed an automatic hand sanitiser dispenser at the city's main mosque -- Shaheb Bazar Boro Masjid -- to help mosque-goers follow Covid-19 protocols.

Sanjeev Kumar Bhati, the assistant high commissioner, described it as a "gift from the Indian people" while inaugurating use of the touchless sanitiser dispenser in a brief programme.

Rajshahi Metropolitan Police Commissioner Abu Kalam Siddique and the mosque governing body president Tozammel Haque Chowdhury attended the inaugural ceremony.

An official said, the assistant high commission is due to install another automatic hand sanitising machine at Varendra Research Museum in the city soon.
