    First make it compulsory to your Ministers and other politicians. who dont wear masks and dont keep social distance in many occassions. Take action against those who dont follow the rules. If they violate then who else will follow rules.

    We as adults face difficulty wearing a mask continuously - the freedom of breathing fresh air is a gift now). I shudder to think what our children will go through today when writing their 2nd PU exam while wearing a mask continuously for almost 5 hours (exam time plus a very early arrival at the centre). Be brave, children - it will make you bolder in life ahead.

    Wearing mask is for saving our life from novel corona virus disease. What if someone doesn't wear it. They risk their life. What happened to nations for neglecting mask we come to know about every day. Mask is only for our safety which is necessity of the hour.
