BHOPAL: Amidst raging omicron variant infecting children, all the Covid norms were violated at a government event of ‘Aapki Sarkar Aapke Dwar’ in Chhatarpur district as children were forced to attend the function. Local MLA Rajesh Prajapati of BJP addressed the gathering.

The programme was organized at Katra village of janpad of Gaurihar.

Large number of villagers were invited and to make sure that the tent where the event was organized looked crowded, a large number of local children were asked to participate.
