A traffic guard checks commuters in Guwahati on Friday
GUWAHATI: People are violating Covid protocols in city markets on Friday with impunity despite the district administration s warning to take strict action against violators.
There were only a few wearing masks or maintaining social distancing as this correspondent took a tour of vegetable and wholesale markets in Bamunimaidan, Fancy Bazar and Ganeshguri and the Uzan Bazar fish market.
Following health minister Keshab Mahanta s instructions, the Kamrup (Metro) district administration on Thursday constituted a task force to ensure strict enforcement of Covid-19 protocols across the city. Kamrup (Metro) deputy commissioner Biswajit Pegu said that strict action, including imposition of heavy fines, would be imposed against the violators.
