Over 3,700 stranded truckers in the above-mentioned states have also been provided with basic hygiene products, personal safety items and groceries for 15 days.
Bridgestone India has also started an ‘I-Serve' employee volunteering initiative program.

The COVID-19 cases in India has been steadily increasing every day, even amidst the nationwide lockdown. The central government announced a lockdown on the 24th of March, which has been extended until the 3rd of May 2020. People around the country have been asked to stay home and venture out only to purchase essentials, while maintaining social distancing norms.

With India currently facing a global pandemic due to COVID-19, all operations and businesses have been shut down for over a month, due to the nationwide lockdown. However, during this period, almost every manufacturer has come out offering their support to fight the coronavirus in the country.
