The Kharghar police had to finally use public address system to remind the people about section 144 imposed in the state to curb the spread of COVID-19 pandemic. A large number of public ventured out of their homes on Tuesday morning and were seen standing in a queue without maintaining the mandatory three feet distances to avoid social contact.

"We have been standing in the queue since morning, as we learned that there won’t be supply of vegetables and fruits, starting Wednesday. We came to Reliance Fresh at Sector 19 and were greeted by a long queue. While they ensured that only four to five people entered the shop at a times, the queue outside was only becoming longer and longer," said Rajiv Tyagi, a local resident.
