MUMBAI: Despite several appeals to Mumbaikars to wear a mask in public places, the number of violators and the fine collected surged in one day.
On Monday, the police, BMC, Western Railway and Central Railway collected nearly Rs 45 lakh in fines from 22,976 ‘mask-less’ people. On Sunday, 14,100 people were fined a total of Rs 28 lakh, and on Saturday, Rs 32 lakh was collected from 16,154 offenders.
Over the weekend, the BMC alone collected Rs 60 lakh in fines. Since March 2020, over 15 lakh ‘mask-less’ Mumbaikars have been caught and Rs 30.5 crore collected in fines, so far. Civic officials said they also make violators perform community services, like sweeping the road, if they can’t pay the penalty.

Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray
MUMBAI: Chief minister Uddhav Thackeray is likely to set up another committee to find a solution to the Metro 3 car shed impasse. It may be headed by chief secretary Sanjay Kumar, sources said, reports Manthan K Mehta.
If set up, it would be the third panel to look into the issue. The first, formed in 2015 and headed by then MMRDA chief U P S Madan, favoured Kanjurmarg provided the land was made available in three months as any delay, it said, could impact the project’s timeline. The Devendra Fadnavis government chose Aarey as the Kanjurmarg land was under litigation.
