Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb has urged the people to use the ‘gamcha’ (handmade cotton towel) if they don’t have a mask and are unable to find the same in markets.

Deb said traditionally, people in Tripura used the ‘gamcha’ and now they can utilise it as alternative to the face masks, whose supply is not adequate in markets.

In a video message by Tripura CM’s office, Deb said, “We all have jal gamcha at our homes. Please keep it on your neck and wrap around your face.””


He also showed how people can make use their ‘gamchas’ .

Currently, Tripura has 948 people under home quarantine but none has been tested for novel Coronavirus yet.
