CEAT Tyres Ltd under the leadership of RPG Foundation has initiated a sanitization drive of trucks, delivering essential goods across Mumbai amidst the ongoing pandemic. CEAT has partnered with All India Truck Worker’s Association (AITWA), Bombay Goods & Transport Association (BGTA) and Western Union LPG Association (WULA) to sanitise trucks across various vehicle loading point such as Nhavasheva, Mahul, Jasai and area around the airport, which are key points of entry/exit of vehicles that bring goods to the city.

The sanitization drive includes sanitization of the truck cabin, distribution of face masks, sanitizers and food packets to the drivers and cleaners. Such a sanitization drive will ensure safety and wellbeing of the drivers that could aid in containing potential cases of the novel corona virus. So far, sanitization drive has been carried out for over 811 trucks and the plan is to cover 1000 truck by the end of 19th April 2020.

To reach out to the needy people during this lockdown, CEAT has also initiated voluntary distribution of food packets across India. So far, more than 68,500 food packets have been distributed in Mumbai, Nashik, Chennai, Vadodara, Jaipur and Jabalpur with an average of 5,800 freshly cooked food packets distribution on a daily basis during this critical time.

RPG Foundation is also proud of their COVID-19 Warriors who are relentlessly working towards reaching the common goal of ensuring safety and wellbeing of people around them. The COVID-19 Warriors are employees from the RPG Group who have been distributing food and masks across the plant and corporate office regions either with the help of company or at their own expense. Some of the employees have also conducted programs to increase awareness on the precautionary measures that can be taken to prevent the spread of the deadly corona virus.
