These offenders were caught without masks or nabbed for spitting in public. So far in the period concerned, 4.92lakh vehicleshavebeen seized in the state for corona-code violations; last week, 5,367 vehicles were impounded.
In all, from June to December, 60,400 cases have been filed under Section 188 of the CrPC (Code of Criminal Procedure) for disregarding notifications. The figure for last week was 2,713. A police official said that despite the crackdown, many people are not following Coved-protocol. That statement is borne out by the number of offenders.
