Delhi HC declares wearing mask alone in car mandatory and Twitter has a lot to say:
It’s almost a year since the government laid a fine for not wearing a mask to spread awareness among people. And since then there has been confusion: Should it be compulsory for an individual driving alone in a car to wear a mask? Well, to clear it off, Delhi High Court has ruled out a petition. t ruled: A mask is compulsory even if a person is driving alone in a private vehicle. A car will be taken as a ‘public place’.
Announcing the judgment, Judge Pratibha M Singh, also said:
When a car stops at a traffic signal, a driver often has to roll down their window. The coronavirus is so contagious that even in that time, anyone can be infected.
However, the judgment did not go well with people at a time when election rallies and religious gathering are being organized in the country without many restrictions and the COVID infections are at an all-time high
Some people made fun of the logic behind the ruling, others had questions.
Check out the tweets:
Let’s wear masks even at home. Even if we are watching Tv alone. Yeah!

India –
“It is mandatory to wear your mask in your Car”“You can only take it off once you reach an election rally with thousands of other people who are also without masks… That is completely alright… But put it back on once you get into your car… Or else…”

There’s no dearth of rules in india, problem is that the rules are applied senselessly:
Driving alone- wear a mask
Walking alone- wear a mask
Attending a political rally with 10000 others – do whatever you like. https://t.co/aMGAiCGw4C— Vikrant Pandey (@Vikrant_says) April 7, 2021
Closing the door of bathroom is compulsory while Shitting even if the person is living alone for years. Insane! https://t.co/jx7AUfJDa5

Amazing… No amount Law can convince me of the logic behind this…
Firstly, Police penalising people ALONE in Car without Car is nothing but cruel Joke & then, Court justifying it is on the basis of being ‘Public’ place worse… @LiveLawIndia @pib_law https://t.co/UFvoFk4Ow0

Wearing mask when driving alone in a car is mandatory by law in New Delhi.
Election rallies with thousands without masks does not raise any eyebrows in India.

Amit Shah is smart, he just did a roadshow in West Bengal, on a truck full of people, surrounded by hundred others. But if he were alone in a car, he had have to wear a mask as per the regulations. Crazy! 😷 pic.twitter.com/ZNLcVh2596
