Police professionals have been risking their lives to enforce law and order in the society during the coronavirus pandemic. Not only do they not have the option of staying home, but police officers also have to deal with several lockdown flouters every day.
These careless individuals have been termed as covidiots, who refuse to adjudge the severity of the situation and take to the streets without any essential matter at hand. Many have been seen coming out on the streets without a face cover or mask.
As a measure of safety, now police personnel in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh have come up with an efficient technique. To protect themselves from contracting COVID-19, the traffic rule violators were asked to sanitize the money before submitting it as challan.
