Traffic police personnel in Tiruvannamalai were given sunglasses free of cost to protect their eyes from the extreme heat.
The initiative, supported by Dr Agarwals Eye Hospital, was launched by K. Karthikeyan, SP (Tiruvannamalai), on Wednesday. In the first phase of the initiative, around 250 police personnel were provided with sunglasses. Most of the sun glasses were given to police personnel in the town as they were exposed to sunlight for many hours.
“I am delighted to be a part of the initiative. Sunglasses provide maximum protection to our eyes from harsh sun rays,” Mr. Karthikeyan said. Isaac Abraham Roy, Head - Clinical Services of the hospital, said that eyes are the most sensitive organ. They are equally prone to sun damage like skin, he said.
