After facing flak over imposing penalty, Bengaluru police begins awareness drive

After facing severe criticism from public for the levying of Rs 1000 penalty for not wearing face mask and not maintaining distance in public places, the government has to withdraw the order within 24 hours.

According to government sources, people were already frustrated with job cuts, lesser money in hand and a bleak future ever since the pandemic set in.

Hence, a decision has been taken to roll back the fines.
