A small section of our society took to the streets on Sunday, again demanding the withdrawal of "unnecessary" face masks, vaccines, and physical distancing. The government implemented these preventive measures to stem the spread of the novel Coronavirus, which has taken lakhs of lives worldwide. However, some believe the virus is just a common flu and a conspiracy.
100 gather at Dadar
In Mumbai, more than 100 people gathered at Dadar's Shivaji Park on Sunday evening, and protests were also seen in Delhi, Rajkot, Ranchi, Uttarakhand, Bangalore, Kolkata and Haryana. A group called 'Awaken India' has been holding such protests for the past six months, since the lockdown was first implemented to curb the fast-spreading virus. Those who gathered in the city on Sunday were also protesting against "the corrupt media and various governments in the country."
