A video of Gour Nath wearing the LED face mask and roaming on the streets of West Bengal has gone viral, leaving netizens amused
A screengrab of the video shared by Facebook user Bivas Das
In the video, Nath talks about the idea behind the mask. He has outlined the face mask with blue LED bulbs so that it could act as a safety measure amid the COVID-19 crisis. "It is a safety measure. This will also act as a sign for those who are not wearing masks. As soon as you see a person wearing an LED mask, it will be like a signal for those who aren't wearing one," said Nath.
When asked whose idea was it, Nath said it was indeed his idea. While people have been making innovative face masks, a jewellery shop owner in Surat has been selling diamond-studded masks with price ranging from Rs 1.5 lakh to Rs 4 lakh.
