Bengaluru: Violators of COVID-19 guidelines were honoured with garland and 'arathi' by lady Police personnel who have come out with a novel idea to create awareness among the public against coming out of their houses without any reason as the pandemic is spreading like a wildfire in the State capital.
"We were forced to come up with this idea to educate people who have not learned lessons despite the fact that people are dying every day due to the pandemic. We stop the violators and after learning that they are roaming on the streets without any valid reason, garland them and perform 'arathi' to teach them a lesson," said Police Sub-Inspector Manjunath, who was behind implementing this idea on the busy Tumakuru Road.
