There is a discrepancy between the affidavit of the Center and the declaration of the Commissioner of Police.
If a driver and passengers are caught without a mask, both will be charged a fixed fine. The state Home Department has made it mandatory to wear masks in public places, workplaces, while traveling.
Drivers of four wheeler-rickshaw-taxi-cab-government-private vehicles are required to wear masks even if they are traveling alone. Earlier in May 2020, by order of the Home Department-Gujarat government, if there was only one person driving a four-wheeler while traveling, he was exempted from covering his face during the journey.
