Speaking about what these developments, social worker, Viraj Sapre said he had filed a complaint about the same with the police and the deputy collector. However, he lamented that he was asked to file a written complaint with vehicle registration numbers of the vendors.
“When there is a lockdown, why are they insisting on filing a written complaint? Why can’t they go and take action against the violators. This shows no proper implementation of the lockdown in Ponda,” he added.
