Bringing back the confidence of the travellers is our top priority at the moment. We at ITDC have provided rigorous training to all our employees and are following strict hygiene and social distancing protocols across all our properties.” The industry needs to come up with policies and practice to reboot its service giving priority to health and hygiene at all levels.
