Nagaland govt to impose Rs 100 fine on those not wearing face mask

Now, those not wearing face mask in Nagaland will have to pay a fine of Rs 100, the state government has said. Other than this, institutions without handwashing facilities too will have to pay a fine of Rs 500, with immediate effect. The Nagaland Disaster Management Authority observed that wearing masks, especially in public places, making the provision of handwashing facility by various establishments, maintaining physical distance in high-risk settings, are often not being followed which poses a serious risk of infection not only to the defaulters but also to other people around them, said Chief Secretary J Alam in an order issued on Friday.
