Patiala is amongst the badly hit district in Punjab and reporting high number of Corona cases on daily basis. Government, administration, health authorities are requesting everyone to take precautions, keep social distancing, wear masks etc etc. to the curb the rising cases.
But all go in vain, as the management and officials of Rajindra Gymkhana and Mahendra Club (Maharani Club) allowed a private function in its premises and the organizer, participants tossed the norms and openly violated the Covid guidelines.
As per available information, a member of the club had booked the space in the club, claiming that he would invite 30 guests in a party, as per government orders.
But the state government had already banned all such avoidable functions. As per the government guidelines, only marriage and death related gatherings and that too limited to less than 30 persons while maintaining social distancing norms are allowed.
But as per information, the guests openly violated the Covid basic norms-maintained no social distancing, nobody wear face masks. The guests even danced in the party.

As per the available information, the staff and waiters of the Rajindra Gymkhana and Mahendra Club (Maharani Club) served eatables without wearing masks.
