gurugramUpdated: Jul 17, 2020 23:17 ISTDespite a municipal corporation of Gurugram (MCG) order three months ago banning spitting in public, the civic body is yet to issue even a single fine in this regard. As per MCG officials privy to the matter, the fact that the civic body had not issued a single fine was only realised when officials were compiling data on fines issued for people not wearing masks in public. “It seems that after the direction issued in April, officials simply forgot about the directive and as such did not fine a single person for spitting in public. When officials said that not a single fine has been issued in this regard, did they realise about this,” said an official privy to the matter. Until June 17, MCG had issued fines for violations in mask-wearing to 308 people and collected fines worth ₹1.54 lakh.
