Coimbatore : The Corporation Commissioner and Special Officer, Sravankumar Jadavath today warned of imposing a fine of Rs.500 on anybody found spitting in public within the corporation limits.

masks and gloves without fail.

He said that medical camps are being held in all the 100 wards and people can avail the opportunity to get tested.
