Authorities have shuttered more than 20 shops and penalised scores of citizens for not wearing masks or maintaining social distance on Friday.
A joint drive was conducted by police, health and BBMP officials against violations of Covid-19 guidelines.
In Malleswaram, jewelry and apparel stores were among 20 commercial establishments to be shuttered for a day as their owners, staff and customers failed to wear masks or ensure social distancing, said Deputy Commissioner of Police (North) N Shashikumar.
The officials photographed the violations before imposing the fines.
