Barber dumps masks, trims hair on road

Vadodara: A barber having his shop on Vasna Road was arrested on Sunday night for dumping used face masks, trimmed hair and razor blades on road outside his shop.
Police said that while patrolling on Vasna Road they received a message that a salon owner had dumped the waste on the road. On reaching near Taksh Complex, cops found waste dumped on the road outside his Scissors Salon. “It was past 8pm and the salon was open, so we checked inside and inquired with owner Mithilesh Sharma. He admitted that instead of throwing the waste in a dustbin, he had littered the road,” said a police official.
Since the dumped waste can spread infection and coronavirus, police arrested Sharma, a resident of Manjalpur. Besides booking Sharma for negligent act likely to spread infection of disease dangerous to life, he was also booked for violation of public notification as his shop was open beyond the permitted time.
