Gramalaya, a Tiruchi-based voluntary organisation working towards public sanitation and hygiene, has distributed cloth pads to nearly 5,000 women amid the lockdown as a precautionary measure against COVID-19 this year. The pads were given to households with menstruating women along with other items of personal hygiene including soaps, face masks and sanitizers. A pack of four cloth pads, made by women in the NGO's manufacturing unit in Musiri were given to each of the 5,500 houses in Tamil Nadu, predominantly in Pudukottai and Tiruchi districts. Another 5,500 more were given out in Puducherry.
