Mangaluru, May 10: By making use of the 6 am to 10 am window provided in the curfew hours, the people went out of their homes in large numbers to buy vegetables and provisions early in the morning on Monday May 10.
A large number of people gathered on the road leading to the central market from the clock tower to buy vegetables and provisions. The crowd largely gave two hoots to the coronavirus norms. The police repeatedly pleaded with the people to maintain social distance. As the people were in a hurry to buy things, frictions arose between them and the police on a few occasions.
A large number of vehicles were seen on the city roads and the police had a hard time controlling their movements. In Mannagudda, people queued up before the fair price shop to get their quota of ration items.
In most of the provision stores and vegetable shops, a huge rush of people could be witnessed.
