In NMC headquarters, action was taken against four persons. The action was taken under the guidance of Virsen Tambe, chief of NFS. NMC had raised the fine amount for not wearing face masks to Rs 500 from September 15 earlier this year. But the people are taking the Covid pandemic easy and violating the norms with impunity and thus paying the price.
