पुणेकर सुरक्षेसाठी मास्क वापरतात मग, हेल्मेट का नाही ?

कोरोनामुळे मानवी आयुष्य फार झपाट्याने बदलेले आहे. प्रत्येकाच्या जीवनात आमूलाग्र बदल दिसून येत आहेत. लोकांच्या आरोग्यविषयक सवयी बदललेल्या आहेत याविषयी दुमत नसावे.
सतत २० सेकंद साबणाने हात धुणे, हाताच्या बोटांचा डोळ्याला/तोंडाला स्पर्श होऊ न देणे, घसा कोरडा राहणार नाही याची काळजी घेणे. विशेष म्हणजे, व्यक्ती बाहेर जात असेल तर मास्कचा नियमित वापर करणे. अगदी ८० म्हाताऱ्या आजीबाई देखील मास्क वापरतात. या सवयीमध्ये झालेला बदल अथवा मास्क घालणे या निश्चितच चांगल्या सवयी आहेत.

However, subsequently the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways constituted District Road Safety Committees with senior Member of Parliament as Chairperson, in all districts of the country. It may be noted that no such powers are granted to the Central Government, since District Road Safety Committees can only be legally notified by the State Government as per the Motor Vehicles Act.
