NEW DELHI: “Corona is over and there is no need to wear a mask,” a man told police officials who stopped him for not wearing a mask two days before the night curfew was imposed in the Capital.
From residents claiming the pandemic is over to those who said they were having trouble breathing and those that simply insisted on not wearing a mask, the Delhi Police encountered a variety of people who ended up breaking curfew on Tuesday night — the first night of curfew.
As per Delhi Police data on action taken between 10 pm on April 6 to 5 am on April 7, about 220 cases were registered for violating COVID 19 guidelines, 534 preventive actions (under sections 65 DP Act, 107,151Cr.P.C) were taken and 842 challans were done for not wearing masks.
“We dealt with all kinds of people and they came up with various kinds of excuses,” the official said.
Another official added that some of the violators told them that they can’t breathe after wearing masks, some directly told them to arrest as they can’t pay the fine.
“Many of them told us that they did not know about the night curfew,” the official added as another official said many people who were caught without a mask were going back to their homes after meeting friends and family.
