BBMP is set to deploy marshals to monitor places of worship following complaints of little or no precautions against spread of COVID-19
Maha Shivaratri, which (March 11) heralds the arrival of summer, draws hundreds if not thousands of devotees to Shiva temples. However, visitors are worried as they have observed a lack of precautions in places of worship over the last few weeks.
For instance, a resident of Kanakapura Road went to a place of worship and was taken aback to see hundreds of people gathered there. “I was worried when I saw that COVID-19 appropriate behaviour, like mask wearing, maintaining social distance and frequent hand-washing and sanitising, was not being followed,” she said.
