Bhubaneswar: With Odisha capital coming under COVID red zone, Bhubaneswar mayor Sulochana Das has warned its people of penalty for not using face mask in pubic places.
After three major cities of the state, Puri, Cuttack and Bhubaneswar, were declared as red zone due to spike in daily COVID cases, the mayor has directed the Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) to lighten the enforcement measures for wearing face masks by the people.
