The Indian Railway Stations Development Corporation (IRSDC) has installed a digital Covid-19 precaution kiosk for automatic vending of masks, sanitisers and gloves at platform number 1 of the Chandigarh Railway Station.

IRSDC Chief General Manager Balbir Singh said the machine had been installed at all five railway stations, which are being developed by the corporations, across the country.
