They are also demanding people to wear safety masks while going out for emergencies. Tamilnadu government announced shut down for every places which requires public gatherings including Theatres, Malls, Amusement parks, Zoos.

In the selfie video shared by Bala Saravanan, the actor can be seen saying that humans are more vicious comparing to the virus which is killing people. He explained a couple of incidents where he was forced to buy hand sanitizers for double the rate the MRP shows.

“Three days before I went to a shop to buy sanitizer. They demanded Rs. 135 from me for a sanitizer which is worth Rs.60. When I asked the one who is collecting the cash about the MRP rate, he said that he is just a worker there and said that he couldn’t do anything about it. I left the place” said Bala who went to add another incident which he faced in a Coffee house.

“Later I went with my friends to a coffee house. A sister who makes coffee there dropped the sanitizer in our hands to make us clean our hands. She did it by lamenting about the way she got compelled to pay more money to buy the sanitizer. She said that she got the sanitizer for Rs.115, actual price of which is just Rs. 75. She even complained that they are not ready to provide bill as well. That is when we came to know that every of us were forced to buy sanitizer for more money. It evidently made us realize that shops increased the rate by knowing about the demand” he said.

“Making use of this kind of situation for their profit, is the cheapest thing ever. I am honestly saying that humans are more dangerous than Corona. This is the time one should sell the basic requirements for discount rate. High profile companies should step forward to help people at this situation. But using this situation is extremely dangerous. That sister said that she couldn’t buy one for her own house as there is no sanitizer for below 80 Rs. There will be no reformation in this society forever” said Bala who looked very much dejected.
