The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has withdrawn its order mandating the wearing of masks by individuals driving alone in their private car. An order issued by the BBMP Commissioner N Manjunath Prasad on Monday, 2 November, said that such persons who are driving alone need not wear masks as long as their windows are rolled up.

However, the same order clarified that two-wheeler users who are riding alone must wear masks.
