Hundreds gather to buy fish near Nanjangud without social distancing

Hundreds of people from more than 10 villages near the Covid-19 red zone of Nanjangud rushed to Doddakere lake in Harathale village to purchase fish on Tuesday, completely disregarding precautionary measures and social distancing norms.
The news of fish being sold at Harathale spread like wildfire among people upset over skyrocketing prices of both chicken and mutton, soon leading to the large gathering at the village.
After a video showing the chaos at Harathale went viral on social media, Nanjangud tahsildar Mahesh Kumar requested people to follow the guidelines of maintaining distancing and wearing masks to prevent the spread of coronavirus. TNN
