Collector also expressed his support towards vendors. “We want all the jobs to run smoothly. But in this era it is not possible to ignore the conditions of the crowd. In one to one and a half months, control of COVID-19 is expected. So everyone’ support is needed and all corona norms should be exercised.

When asked as to how the time of festivals will be dealt, the collector said that festivals like Eid and Rakhi are a challenge for us. “I request people to celebrate the festivals with peace and simplicity.
