A traffic jam was witnessed at the Padi flyover junction here on Wednesday due to checking at a police checkpoint put in place to catch persons indulging in non-essential travel in wake of the Coronavirus lockdown.
The police pulled the violators out of the traffic and made them perform sit-ups. Those who flouted the lockdown were also made to wear masks that were a replica of the coronavirus and hold posters, which accused them of being 'an enemy of society'.
This is the second week of the 21-day nationwide lockdown announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi aimed at containing the spread of novel coronavirus. T
