Experts believe that the corona epidemic is so prevalent now that one has to make a habit of living in it. It is wreaking havoc all over the world. In such a situation, many techniques are being developed on how to work without getting caught in this epidemic.
Punjab-based Kapurthala Coach Factory has prepared a post kovid coach. So until the vaccine is made, the necessary journey can be done without getting scared and avoiding infection. This post Kovid coach is designed to avoid corona infection. It has facilities that work without touching it.
Water taps and soap dispensers have the facility to operate by foot, that is, there is no need to touch it by hand. Also, the toilet door, the flush valve, the door closing and opening chitney, the washbasin tap are copper coated.
It is believed that the virus does not survive on copper for a long time and it either gets destroyed or falls down. Copper has anti-microbial quality. Therefore, along with the coach’s washbasin, lavatory, seat and berth, dining table, glass window and floor, it has been coated everywhere that can come in contact with humans. This coating does not deteriorate for one year.
Plasma air purification is installed in the post Kovid coach’s AC itself. This device keeps the air and surface within the AC coach free of contamination. The entire coach and seat are coated with titanium dioxide. It is an environmentally friendly water-based coating.
Viruses, bacteria are destroyed by this coating. It does not harm the human body. It is non-toxic and certified by the American Food and Drug Administration. According to railway officials, it costs Rs 6-7 lakh to prepare this coach. This type of arrangement has been made in the old coach itself.
