Most of them flouted social distancing while standing in a queue outside bank. Many were seen without masks.

When contacted, bank branch manager Yusuf Ali Bohra said, “Bank branch situated in Babulda village is closed due to which farmers from there as well as Garoth have come here. This is why there is crowd. We ensure social distancing and masks inside the bank but we can’t ensure the same outside the bank building. We did inform police about it.”
