Mohammed shaikh a trader from bandra,
Many people think that the pandemic is over, and since the compulsion of wearing mask and fines is removed most of the people have let go the need of taking even a basic safety precaution, people have just forgotten that we had faced such a horrendous second wave yet people behave as if we are living in another world.
Nirmala Banarjee a developer and social worker,
Mask have been really helpful to decrease the spread of infection and helped in curtailing the effect of the pandemic, but taking basic protocols of health is necessary to help not only ourselves but also the authorities, colleges and schools have re-opened and risk of infection will be now more high, citizens of Mumbai should take necessary step and if necessary mask mandate should be implemented again for our safety.
Manohar Kishinchandani an import/export business man,
I think the decision should be left to public, our buisness have suffered a lot of damage due to such restrictions, and re-enacting those one by one could again put our buisness in jeopardy, one should only wear mask in crowded place and also too much wearing of mask can gives us breathlessness problem, one cannot live in such state forever we have to learn to live with covid from now!
