Wearing a mask at public places is made compulsory, but people are yet to follow the rules. The Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Corporation has fined 2, 413 people for not wearing face mask and have collected Rs 12,06,500.
With rising cases of covid-19 across the city, the KDMC officials have started a drive against masks from April 1 after the new rules and lockdown were imposed. At 10 different wards of the corporation, 10 teams have been formed under the leadership of the ward officers.
“The team roams around in the jurisdiction of the ward and with the help of police keeps taking action against the violators who are not wearing a mask. Till Wednesday people were seen on the road coming to market and for some work. We found many of them not wearing a mask. A fine of Rs 500 is taken from them. Many times the person doesn’t have the cash so he is then asked to pay an amount or left with a warning noting his details,” said an official from KDMC.
