Outside the Ultadanga railway station, a woman’s mask was on her chin. “I will wear the mask. I am in a rush and I will board an auto,” she said, and pulled up the mask.

Police stopped a man on a two-wheeler on Syed Amir Ali Avenue near Park Circus because he was not wearing a mask. “I am going to a nearby place… I will wear it,” he said.

A man was walking through a crowded road without wearing a mask in Muchipara. “I am in my locality, so I am not wearing a mask,” he said.
