    Unless police do laati charge on violators, there is no meaning.
    If they pay fine and distribute Corona, then who are the losers.

    Yeah and you should be the first recipient of your own prescription. People like you are the reason police serves politicians and NOT citizens.

    Very good initiative........congratulations....!! Karnataka should charge 10,000/- for violators... Here, some simply break the rules unnecessarily trying to spread infection to whole of Mangalore and causing trouble to everyone...... Yesterday also same riders were moving on the interior roads double rides/triple rides without masks... How and where police can eye on these violators who do not know what's their RESPONSIBILITY in controlling the infection... ??? Why to blame govt and it's authorities when we don't change ourselves????? When we change and when we behave responsibly no need of lock down.... Why to call dakshina Kannada as "BUDDHIVANTARA JILLE"? When we don't follow one day's lockdown, are we ready to obey for three weeks? Now, please never say, corona virus acts on Sunday and every night during curfew.. rest of the days sleep... During lock down, if emergency any, call the concerned authorities, who will definitely swing into action. Please don't break the rules...
