The civic police has also imposed a fine of more than Rs 1.95 crore on owners of lawns, marriage halls and shopkeepers for disobeying the corona virus protocol.

No Respect for Covid-19 Protocol

Despite paying such a high amount of fine, many Nagpurians are still found venturing into public places without following the safety protocols of COVID-19.

On visiting many public places including Ganeshpeth Bus Depot, Railway Station, Mor Bhawan City Bus Depot it has been found that there is no respect for the coronavirus protocol. No one is following the Covid safety guidelines. The same was the case with the main commercial areas of Nagpur city such as Cotton Market, Sakkardara, Sitabuldi, Dharampeth, Sadar etc.

Even though a large number of a people can be easily seen roaming around in public places without wearing face masks. The civic police of Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) is now punishing about 15 to 30 civilians on an average in just a day.
