The unique and sustainable PPE are made of simple plastic sheets and adhesive tape available in the market.
Wangsu, who was in the news recently for providing free tuitions to poor students of the district, also donated 150 facemasks along with the PPE to the DC.
Expressing appreciation for the innovative idea, Yadav said the locally-made PPE would to some extent meet the shortage of PPE for the frontline workers.
