Nagpur: Negligence of citizens despite a continuous appeal by the authorities resulted in a rampant surge in the number of COVID-19 cases from the last 2 weeks in the city. Even as the police are registering cases against lockdown violators, Nagpurians continue to roam without wearing masks.
Taking stern action against this behavior, the corporation will now slap a fine of Rs 500 on those who come out of their houses without masks, which play a significant role in preventing the spread of COVID-19. The action comes into force from Monday.
