Now, Rajgarh Congress MLA violates social distancing norm

JAIPUR: At a time when the whole nation is focused on social distancing, Johari Lal Meena, Congress MLA from Rajgarh in Alwar, has violated the norm by holding a public gathering in his constituency on Monday. This is the second such incident in which a Congress MLA has been involved in violating norms.
Meena attended the inaugural ceremony of the Rajgarh Municipal Council building and addressed a gathering while sitting close to others.Many of them were not even wearing masks. Even the seating arrangement violated the norms of social distancing between two individuals. TOI repeatedly called the MLA for his comments but the lawmaker did not respond.
Ironically, the programme was attended by SDM Keshav Kumar Meena, DSP Anjali Jorwal and chairman of the municipal council, Jyoti Saini. Defending the inicdent, the SDM said that the inaugural ceremony was a government programme and those who attended it had worn masks. “Every attendant’s hands were sanitised and we followed every protocol,” said Meena.
On Saturday, Baran Congress MLA Atru Panachand Meghwal and 16 others were fined for not wearing masks while unveiling a statue of Maharana Pratap in the presence of a huge gathering at Pratap Chowk in the city.
