People show scant regard for safety norms despite warning of a third wave of the pandemic
Despite warning from health experts of the possibility of a third wave of the pandemic, physical distancing norms and other safety guidelines are being thrown to the winds in several places in the city. Overcrowded fish markets and wayside outlets cut a sorry figure on Thursday with long queues in front of them. A fish market near Nadakkavu even drew the attention of passers-by with a long queue of buyers. There was no one to enforce rules there. A few customers even justified the act. Though regulations are in force in critical containment zones, many came out of restricted areas and moved around. The police and other enforcement squads found themselves helpless in the face of the heavy turnout. Even children casually roamed with parents.More Related News
