sir,
Through the esteemed column I would like to have your attention towards a dangerous problem that people have started wearing mark, but they are not knowing how to dispose mask properly

They are throwing it on the road or anywhere else, people won't understand how important throwing masks is. Before throwing masks, sanitize the mask or put the mask in paper bag or something then dispose it into the dustbin as our germs may remain in the mask and cannot transfer to the other person also.,
As the situation is very serious I would like to draw you to print this in your newspaper so that people are aware of precautions they have taken before. disposing a mask
