Amidst increasing fake news and rumours over the reinstated Covid-19 restrictions in Maharashtra, the Mumbai Police on Tuesday clarified that the fine for not wearing a mask is Rs 200 and not Rs 1,000.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray is set to hold a meeting on Tuesday with Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) Commissioner and officials, to review the COVID-19 situation in the state.
In the wake of rise in coronavirus cases in Mumbai, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and Mumbai Police have started penalising people for flouting COVID-19 norms.
The Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh took to his official Twitter account to announce the news and said, "Dear Mumbaikars, Mumbai Police is now authorised to issue challans to offenders not wearing a mask too. Every time we fined you for not wearing a helmet or seatbelt it was always to remind you the value of your life & safety. Same for masks."
