MADURAI: 2 aquariums at Sivaganga district, paradoxically bearing the identical title Madagupatti and situated about 25 kms aside, have become self-imposed containment using a weapon of neem leaves in a movement to stop the spread of Covid-19. K Kumar, a resident of Madagupatti at Sivaganga marriage, said they’d made a decision to keep the illness at bay by obeying some rigorous steps. “This is a custom to suspend neem leaves out homes when somebody is infected with an infectious illness, but this time we chose to use it in order to send a very clear message to people and outsiders,” he explained. Panchayat president Saraswathy explained both Madagupattis – another person in Singampunari marriage – were”closely connected” and chose to follow stringent steps. Aside from the neem-fence, ” she said they’d blocked the streets resulting in their own village with thorns. Each single day, a enormous cauldron of mixture made from honey, herbs, dry ginger, zeera, guava foliage and garlic is set to boil wood flame through the night. In the early hours, this beverage is spread to all villagers from the 2,650 homes. Individuals coming to go to their households from outside need to compulsorily clean their feet and hands with water and soap. “It triggers some distress, but it’s also the main reason we haven’t had some Covid departure from our own village,” explained Muthukumar, a villager.
