Mumbai Police Commissioner Hemant Nagrale has given each police station in the city a target of penalising 100 mask-less daily, which is 1,000 people in each zone. The fine for not wearing a mask or wearing it incorrectly is Rs 200, as decided by the BMC, which has authorised the police to collect it. But the police told mid-day they are already burdened as Section 144 has been imposed in the city along with night curfew, and now this new target of fining 1,000 people is coming in the way of their work. 

The former police commissioner, Param Bir Singh, had also given each zone the same target of 1,000 cases a day in March 2021.
