The drive was launched on Tuesday and over 40 offenders were punished as part of it, a police official said. This was done after police found several well educated and "over smart" people, who were aware of the situation, coming out of their homes for morning and evening walks and violating the lockdown guidelines, he said. "To punish such people, we created some selfie points with the message I am irresponsible, I am selfish'.

This kind of punishment will put social pressure on the educated people, who violate the prohibitory orders by coming out of their homes without any valid reason, he said. <div type="twitter" handle="KOLHAPUR_POLICE" handlename="KOLHAPUR POLICE" image="http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1249561545681408000/-eZ0wZGb_normal.jpg" favoritecount="255" retweetcount="60" status="लॉक डाऊन काळामध्ये तोंडाला मास्क न लावता आपला व इतर नागरिकांचा जीव धोक्यात घालणा-या अश्या या बे-जबाबदार नागरिकांचा… https://t.co/Um6K8IuByT" createdat="1586872966000" id="1250061943274196993"></div> The selfie points have been created by police at <keyword id="3398739" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="kalamba">Kalamba</keyword> and <keyword id="9057316" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="phule-wadi">Phule Wadi</keyword>.
