(Deepshikha Gautam, Intern Journalist) Lucknow: In view of the growing to corona transition in Lucknow, Mayor Sanyukta Bhatia has taken charge.

At the meeting, Mayor Sanyukta Bhatia said that a large number of people are often seen in the market and homes without wearing masks. The same situation exists for many Street vendors, which increases the risk of infection. Just because the municipal operation will run a ‘Toko Campaign’, in which, if no one is seen not wearing masks on the streets of Lucknow, then the public, councilors, and scavengers must interrupt when they do not wear masks; tell them that their not wearing masks increases the risk of Corona infection and may give Corona infection to others. The interruption of the public along with the cleaning staff will create fear in him and we will come out of the house next time wearing a mask. The same Toko campaign should be carried out against those who spread dirt and spit from place to place.

My appeal to them to wear masks and buy and sell goods only after wearing masks.
