Marshals no longer monitoring wearing of mask
The Hindu
The small army of ward marshals who had been roped in to levy fines on citizens for not wearing masks or maintaining social distance at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic have been assigned to solid waste management (SWM) duties, at least for the next two months.
They will be focusing on ensuring segregation of waste and keeping a check on black spots across all 198 wards in the city in the light of the ongoing Swachh Survekshan 2021. The entire civic machinery seems to be focused on ensuring a better ranking this year. Though adjudged as the best ‘Self-Sustainable Mega City’, Bengaluru’s rank fell from 194 (2019) to 214 in 2020.
