According to the decision taken at the meetings, the traders of Hunsur will close their shops from 3 pm to 7 am, the traders of Hassan have decided to close their shops from 2 pm to 6 am.
MLA H.P. Manjunath, who chaired the meeting in Hunsur, decided to impose certain conditions to prevent the spread of the deadly virus and accordingly, it is mandatory for everyone to wear face masks and traders would be closing their shops from 3 pm.
Also, people are asked not to move around unnecessarily failing which fines would be imposed on such persons and a fine of Rs. 5,000 would be imposed on traders who do not close in the stipulated time.

So, if Hunsur and Hassan face this lock down, what is the point of keeping shops which sell essential commodities which people may want after 2:00PM, when the lock down comes into effect,and people cannot move out of their homes.
This MLA Gowda seems to have good brain forarranging this!
On search,this was reported in the Hindu a year ago about this MLA Gowda:”The Shravanabelagola police in Channaryapatna taluk have registered a case against MLA for Hassan Preetham Gowda of the BJP and others on the charge of threatening to murder two JD(S) supporters. The alleged incident happened in Shravanabelagola on Wednesday night”
What a model citizen of independent India! Independent India,should be lucky to have persons of this probity as their elected leaders!
Well done! Jai Hind!!
