Even after multiple warnings, he repeatedly kept calling and creating a nuisance, hindering the working of the authorities at a time of crisis.Finally, the DM did order his officials to send the youth four samosas. But the story does not end here. Along with samosas, the DM also sent out an order for the youth to clean the drain as a punishment for disturbing the officials amid the lockdown and poking fun at them. The DM also shared pictures of the youth cleaning the drain on his Twitter handle later.In another tweet, he wrote that people who misused the system are now cleaning the drain and helping the administration. "You too can support as at the time of this national disaster. Be responsible citizens. Stay healthy, stay safe," he wrote.The youth has surely learnt a lesson after the incident.
