Mangaluru City Police in association with Ramakrishna Mission launched a novel initiative of shaming violators of lockdown by making them hold a placard declaring; "I am guilty".
Police and Ramkrishna Mission volunteers made violators realise the consequences of their decision to violate the lockdown and made them hold placards which read: “I am guilty. I have violated COVID-19 lockdown orders.”
This is an initiative to prevent people from stepping onto the roads, Mangaluru Commissioner of Police Dr. P S Harsha said.
