Police crack down on mask violators

Amid Omicron variant threat, the city police have planned to book face mask violators in public places. The city police had banned people from visiting the beaches to celebrate New Year on December 31 and January 1, with entry and exit points blocked. Despite this, scores of people gathered and roamed along with the platform of the beach.

The Marina Beach witnessed a few thousand footfalls on Sunday.

The police teams comprising three inspectors of police and 15 other police personnel have been inspecting places where the public has been gathering to check for those who are roaming without a face mask. The police are asked to slap fresh cases against these violators under Sections 269 (whoever unlawfully or negligently does any act which is, and which he knows or has reason to believe to be, likely to spread the infection of any disease dangerous to life) of IPC and Section 3 of The Epidemic Diseases Act, 1897.
