Commission chairman VK Saxena said that the specially made khadi cloth mask would prevent the moisture from reaching the inside by up to 70 per cent. He added that 500 khadi masks will be distributed in all districts across the country. Almost 12 lakh face vendors will be distributed through over 2400 institutions under the Commission. Distribution has begun accordingly.
