NLC India has discontinued the use of eight disinfection tunnels installed as a safety measure for its employees against COVID-19 following concerns raised about its effectiveness and the harm it may cause to human health.
The company, which was in the process of setting up two more such disinfection tunnels, will not do so now due the concerns raised by the government. The Director of Public Health and Preventive Medicine, Chennai, recently instructed all government departments in Tamil Nadu not to install such tunnels.
NLC India is engaged in the business of lignite mining and power generation.
