Amul parlours in Gujarat to sell N95, triple-layered masks

Gandhinagar, Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani announced on Monday that N95 and triple-layered masks will be available at Amul parlours across the state at affordable prices.

There are around 1,600 Amul parlours across the state, and all these will now be selling the much-needed N95 masks and triple-layered masks, as wearing of masks was made mandatory in the state since the lockdown was imposed on March 25 to curb the spread of coronavirus.

"Wearing of masks at public places is compulsory. Looking at this mandate, and to avail the masks easily, the Gujarat government has made provisions. The N95 masks and the triple-layered mask will be sold at Amul parlours. The N95 mask will be available at Rs 65 and the triple-layered mask will be available at Rs 5 at all the Amul parlours in the state. In the first phase, the selling of masks will be carried out in Ahmedabad and gradually all across the state," Rupani said.

The CM also announced the provisions of the Lockdown 4.0, which will be in effect from Tuesday in Gujarat. According to the provisions, the relaxations depend on whether and an area falls in a containment zone or not.
