Speaking to reporters after a meeting with officers here, Karnataka Medical Education minister Dr K.

Action will be initiated against organisers or owners of the organisation if more people are found in such gatherings," the minister maintained.He added that buses (public transport) can operate with 50% of their capacity."Bus conductors will be instructed to allow only those with masks into the buses," he said, adding that all government employees must wear masks and they won't be allowed to enter the office if found without masks.
