There is hardly any social distancing being maintained outside several banks here. People are standing in close contact with each other in long queues to withdraw case.
No persons either from the local administration or from the banks have been deployed here to streamline the social distancing norms.
As the banks have no parking facilities, customers are constrained to park their vehicles on sides of the roads creating a chaotic situation.
When asked why people weren’t following the social distancing norms, a customer said everyone is in a hurry to get work done. "People often forget the (social distancing) norm, but everyone is scared as well," he told.
Social distancing is a public health strategy attempting to prevent or slow the spread of coronavirus. Thus everybody should follow it and adhere to the Government guidelines to combat the pandemic, said local lawyer KT Jilani.
