Steel city witnesses widespread lockdown violations Markets crowded with people wearing masks below noses, yet police not taking strict action
Steel city residents are flouting Covid protocols including social distancing by turning up in large numbers at local markets, sometimes, even without masks.
The Sakchi market remains crowded after 9 am till well past noon while the vegetable market at Ganesh Puja ground in Kadma bears a similar picture, especially on Sundays. Same is the scenario at other markets of the city.
Most of the people are usually wearing masks well below their noses while some hang it from their neck. Social distancing has apparently taken a backseat with people seemingly in a hurry to hit the market to buy essentials when the lockdown is relaxed from 6 am to 3 pm.
