Mumbai, Feb 17: Amid the Covid-19 pandemic, the Mumbai civic body has caught over 15 lakh people without face masks at public places in the city since April last year and collected more than Rs 30 crore as fine from them, officials said on Wednesday.
Out of these offenders, 13,008 were caught on Monday and a fine of Rs 26,01,600 was collected from them, a Brihnamumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) official said.
Concerned over the recent surge in Covid-19 cases in Maharashtra, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Tuesday asked citizens to strictly follow government-mandated guidelines on masks and social distancing or be prepared to face another round of lockdown.
DEHRADUN: A preliminary digital analysis of the Nanda Devi National Park revealed extensive damage to flora and fauna of the sanctuary, a Unesco World heritage site, caused by the flash flood. Forest officials said that Raunthi area, the core zone of the national park, had been badly hit.
Also, according to experts of the Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology (WIHG) as well as other institutes studying reasons behind the flood, the water had further damaged a 22km stretch from Raunthi to Tapovan. The current had sliced off a side of the mountain, sweeping away trees, medicinal herbs, shrubs, endangered species like musk deer, Himalayan goats as well as leopards.
