New Delhi: It is second such incident of brazen violation of lockdown in Tamil Nadu in last 10 days. A group of youngsters organized ‘Corona feast’ in Salem district, shot a video and posted it on social media platform.
For the ‘Corona feast’, they brought rice, meat and other ingredients at a farmland in Veeranam region. They cooked the food there and feasted sitting close to each other, openly flouting the rules rather making a mockery of law.
