After stepping out in huge gatherings without maintaining social distancing in celebratory gatherings on Janta Curfew day, many citizens stepped out of their homes in big groups once again, carrying flames, bursting firecrackers, while even unverified videos of fire at multiple places are being reported. Sonam K Ahuja too expressed her displeasure, particularly at firecrackers, after she witnessed animals ‘freaking out’ due to the loud sound.
