Police to penalise drivers not wearing masks
In December alone, Telangana police issued 58,578 e-challans for face mask related violations across the State.
Of them, 14,596 challans were issued by the Hyderabad city police to those who were not properly wearing or not wearing masks in adherence to COVID-19 protocol.
With a sudden spike in COVID cases and several Omicron cases, police have once again intensified the ‘No Mask’ drive rule and started issuing contactless and spot e-challans to violators in the State.

Govt. committed to eradicating poverty among tribal communities, asserts Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu. Paying tributes to Sant Sevalal, a social and religious reformer, and spiritual guru of the Banjaras, on his birth anniversary, the Chief Minister promises to take steps to realise his ideals and uplift the tribal people in all ways. TDP founder and former Chief Minister N.T. Rama Rao had implemented various welfare programmes for the tribal people, he says, adding that P4 policy will be implemented from Ugadi, the Telugu new year.
