Wearing facemask has become very important due to the Coronavirus infection pandemic. Inspite of many warnings given, people still do not take it seriously and many go to public places etc without wearing a facemask. This has made many GCC officials very busy now.

To increase facemask compliance, GCC commissioner Mr. Gagandeep Singh Bedi, Chennai police commissioner Mr. Shankar Jiwal plus various other officers including those from Avadi and nearby districts took part in a meeting. Point is that in the meeting a decision was taken regarding conducting a special drive from Thursday till 26th September to strictly enforce wearing of facemasks and physical distancing etc.
Beginning from last Thursday zonal enforcement teams have been enforcing the rules and imposing fines on the violators in places that are crowded like markets, wedding halls etc. As a part of the drive, static surveillance teams have been deployed is known.
