Vadodara City Congress President Prashant Patel said, in the Corona pandemic, wearing a mask is mandatory and on the other hand, the government imposes a fine of Rs 1,000 for not wearing it. This fine is unaffordable for the people earning 100 to 200 rupees per day.
To avoid the Rs 1000 fine, the City Congress President, former Leader of Opposition Chandrakant Srivastava, and all Congress members appealed to the people to abide by the law and wear the masks. They also requested everyone to join and participate to keep the city safe.
