Social distancing is the new norm in today’s time and there is no way around it. Be it during commutes or at the workplace, it’s extremely essential to maintain proper distance from each other to restrict the spread of the pandemic. In an effort to ease that fight, the Signal and Telecommunications Department of Thiruvananthapuram Division of Southern Railway came up with an innovative device. This device ensures and reminds people to maintain proper distance from one another.
Ministry of Railways shared a video on their official Twitter handle which details how the device works and it seems quite impressive. Named ‘Social Distancing Ensuring Device’, it works in a way where an alarm starts beeping if someone comes too close to another person.
