What is the cost of irresponsibility? Apartment complex fixes it at ₹5

When a visitor turns up at Shanthi Gulmohar Apartments in Mandaveli without wearing a face mask, they have to buy one from the community
Just as retail outlets charge customers for shopping bags to send out the message that they bring their own bags next time, an apartment complex in Mandaveli offers visitors a mask, but with a small price tagged to it. Shanthi Gulmohar Apartments in Mandaveli recently started charging ₹5 for a mask it would hand out to those who had turned up at the complex without wearing one. The apartment committee has empowered the security staff to stop visitors at the gate, if they were found without a face mask. “All these months, masks were stocked with the security personnel at the gate. Those visiting the apartment without wearing a mask were being handed one, at no cost,” says Lalithaa Mahesh, a resident and former secretary of the apartment Association.More Related News
