Mumbai auto rickshaw with hand washing system impresses Anand Mahindra, Twitter

“One silver lining of Covid 19 is that it’s dramatically accelerating the creation of a Swachh Bharat,” says business tycoon Anand Mahindra in his recent tweet. The post is accompanied with a video that shows a special auto rickshaw that has several amenities including a hand washing unit.

The video, a little over a minute long, shows all the features of this special vehicle. Along with the hand washing unit, complete with a soap dispenser, you can also see potted plants and two separate bins labelled ‘wet waste’ and ‘dry waste’.

A board inside the rickshaw reads, “Mumbai’s first home system auto rickshaw providing excellent service”.

The points listed below detail a special discount for senior citizens. It adds that the vehicle is also equipped with a phone charging unit, drinking water, a cooler fan along with advice on staying fit. It also mentions that newly married couples can ride the auto rickshaw for free.

The video also shows the BMC Covid-19 helpline number on the auto rickshaw which also provides Wi-Fi.

The clip has impressed many on Twitter. The tweet, since being shared about two hours ago, has collected over 12,000 likes and more than 2,000 retweets - and counting.

“Amazing... Should be replicated by every state,” comments an individual. “Safety, Responsibility, Innovatibility. Ahead of the Challenging Curve,” comments another.
