Gurugram, India | 3rd April 2020: In a bid to protect the frontline warriors amid the Coronavirus crisis, Droom, India’s largest and pioneering online automobile transactional marketplace has announced a fleet sanitization drive for Gurugram Police. Through this initiative, Droom has extended its Germ-Shield technology to deeply sanitize the fleet of cars and bikes currently used by Gurugram Police.

This fleet sanitization drive for Gurugram Police is a part of Droom’s contribution towards the protection of these brave warriors and real heroes of our society.
