    The same should be followed by the officers and concern department. Law is imposed to all, public has well has government employees.

    Looking at the spread of Covid 19 pandemic at extremely high speed, taking special precautions of coverage of nose and mouth by mask is a must for every individual since failure to do so not only affect him/her but also risks entire society. So increased fine is justified and it is essential.
