The concept of social distancing, evolved to avoid human-to-human contact, is followed more in the breach than observance by those who preach. After the lockdown was clamped across the nation, people are allowed to come out for their basic requirements, with a rider to follow social distancing. Amzath Basha regularly inspects the rythu bazaar, visits infected colonies in Kadapa district to distribute sanitisers, grocery and vegetables to the public. He too often faced public and media ire for violating the norm, while ‘getting closer’ to the public, though he never misses his face mask. Even on Thursday, he distributed essentials at a colony in Kadapa when he was almost mobbed by the beneficiaries.
