New model of social distancing 

The details regarding the milkman's name is not yet available although the tweet has garnered much likes and comments across the social media.

Many, including IAS officers Awanish Sharan, Nitin Sangwan has tweeted the post praising the new model of social distancing amid the pandemic scare.

"Good to see that some people go extra mile to keep themselves and others safe," wrote Nitin Sangwan IAS by sharing the image of the milkman's bike that has a long pipe connected to a funnel from the milk container. Through this pipe, the customer can collect the milk from its other end, thus having no contact with the vehicle or with the milkman.

"Let's do basic minimum things of staying at home, wearing mask and keeping social distance even if we cannot go an extra mile like this innovative milkman," added the IAS officer in his tweet.

Many such interesting measures have been opted by merchants across the state for a safer means of the sale of commodities.

While most of the shops ensured one-meter distance between the customers' queue, many have chosen to lose these 'pipe-funnel' techniques to ensure clean and safer delivery of essential things to the people during the lockdown.
