With an anti-COVID vaccine still months away, the BMC says more and more citizens are becoming careless by ignoring the use of masks.

Between November 14 and December 13, civic officials collected a fine of R7.33 crore from 3.66 lakh maskless citizens. The figures are a cause for concern considering that the BMC had fined 3.17 lakh people from April 9 and November 13, collecting Rs 6.7 crore.
