Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the entire country is under a nationwide lockdown until May 3. The lockdown was extended from April 14 after a steep increase in the positive cases for COVID-19 all across India. But even after the government urging everyone to stay in isolation, several people have ignored the warnings and have broken the quarantine-rules. A similar case has been seen in Meerut, where despite the curfew people are roaming on the streets in large numbers and carrying their activities and former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh is not happy with it. Harbhajan Singh Slams Uruguayan Woman Who Threatened Police Officer after Violating 21-day Lockdown.
