A direct-to-home vegetable seller in Hassan was shocked recently when one of his employees refused to take vegetables to one particular household. He then learnt that the worker was hurt because when he had gone to the customer’s place, he was asked if he had licked the vegetables to spread COVID-19. The worker never anticipated the question from the customer, to whom he had been supplying vegetables for the past several months. He also warned those who upload and circulate misleading videos to disturb communal harmony of strict action. A vegetable seller in Belur, who used to go around the villages in the taluk carrying vegetables, was sent back in many villages without doing business.
