Answers
Answer:
In the Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir, the mandatory masks rule announced Wednesday was limited to all officers, staff and visitors to the Civil Secretariat, while in the UT of Ladakh it applied to the general public as well as all government officials, including personnel of the armed forces, and violation was made a punishable offence.
Mumbai municipal commissioner Praveen Pardeshi issued orders "in the largest public interest" saying the face covering must be a three-ply mask or a homemade one, and a person not wearing one outside the home could be arrested and booked under IPC Section 188 (disobedience of order duly promulgated by a public servant). Punishment under this section is a minimum six months’ imprisonment, and the order applies to ordinary citizens as well as all government officials. Masks are mandatory even when moving in one’s personal or official vehicle. No person/officer can attend any meeting, gathering, workplace, site without wearing a mask.
