Around 500 people reportedly attended the function held to honour volunteers
At a time when the government has imposed restrictions on mass gatherings to check the rapid spread of coronavirus, Roads and Buildings Minister Malagundla Sankaranarayana had drawn flak for holding a function with around 500 people in attendance in a closed hall at Penukonda to honour the volunteers.
BJP cries foul Photographs of the function showed the volunteers and other invitees sitting in violation of social distancing norms. The BJP and TDP leaders have criticised the Minister for organising such a gathering, saying that the event could turn out to be a venue for the spread of COVID infection.
