The DRDO (Defence Research and Development Organisation) has taken an initiative towards maintaining the safety of security forces by developing a sanitizing chamber, named ‘GermiKlean’. This dry heat treatment chamber will sanitize the uniforms of the security forces. This chamber is designed in such a way that it sanitizes 25 uniform pairs in 15 minutes.
The GermiKlean has been designed and developed by DRDO and manufactured by Saveer Biotech Limited.
This chamber has been set up at the Parliament Street Police Station. When the Delhi Police insisted on the requirement of sanitization of their uniforms, helmets, cane shields, canes, etc., DRDO thought of and came up with this idea.
Eish Singhal, DCP of the Parliament Street Police Station said “Our uniforms and other items can be kept inside the chamber to get sanitized and this method has proved to be really very beneficial. Thankfully, DRDO considered our request and took an initiative to fulfill it”.
He also added further “DRDO has also developed a sanitization tunnel for our sake and also designed a mat to get us with foot sanitization. We are grateful to the DRDO for making these things available for our safety and health”.
