Mandsaur (Madhya Pradesh): The corona positive figure has reached 3,300 out of 80,000 samples taken so far in Mandsaur district, creating a fearsome picture of future for people and administration.
“Cause for corona becoming rampant in area is carelessness of people as they flout Covid norms,” a health department official said wishing anonymity.
The final report on Monday night mentioned 32 new Covid patients. Local administration's appeal, chief minister's campaign - Mera Mask, Meri Suraksha - challans, fines, Roko Toko Campaign, don’t seem to have any effect on people.
