Many in Kolkata continue to move about without masks like nothing’s changed. The Telegraph criss-crossed the city on Monday.
A biker was spotted on Elgin Road without a mask (and without a helmet). In fact when the photographer tried to ask him the reason, he drove close to the car to hear him properly. “I will wear it,” he said and sped away.
A man and a woman without masks were waiting for a bus at Mudiali. When the photographer approached them, the woman wore a mask. Soon they boarded a crowded bus. The man still did not wear a mask.
Two women were walking down Southern Avenue, one of them without a mask. When the photographer asked her, the woman without the mask said: “Oh, I live close by... I will wear it.”
