So far, only two confirmed cases of the coronavirus have been reported from different parts of the country. However, there is a surgical mask shortage in mega cities. People are purchasing substandard surgical masks and hand sanitizers out of panic and with a false sense of security.
Since surgical masks are consisted as a basic defense against some viruses, mafias and black- marketeers are seen trying to make the most of this situation. But who cares in this lawless land where laws are framed, not implemented?
