Amid the rising number of COVID-19 cases, social media users can't stop laughing their hearts out at the circles that have been drawn at a railway station in West Bengal to maintain social distance.
While maintaining social distance and wearing face masks has become mandatory, these circles marked to maintain social distance at a railway station appear to be quite oddly placed, thus making it the 'talking point' among netizens.
