A newborn in Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh in India has been christened Sanitiser by his parents in a way that archives the trying time the world is in.
When speaking with the media, Omveer, the baby’s father, said that he was impressed by the measure the government had taken to contain coronavirus in the country, India Today reports.
“My wife and I are highly impressed by the effective measures taken by both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to battle the novel coronavirus,” he said.
He added that hand sanitisers are very important in keeping people safe from the outbreak of the virus, saying the same materials are also being freely distributed across the nation.
Omveer said they decided to give their baby that name because they appreciate the value of the hand washer and how it is presently being used to protect everyone.
“We have named our baby Sanitiser because it is being used by everyone at present to deter the spread of germs on our hands,” he said.
It should be noted that the baby was born on Sunday, April 12, at a hospital in Saharanpur district.
