ISLAMABAD: Setting an example of rule of law, Islamabad Deputy Commissioner Muhammad Hamza Shafqaat has fined himself for not wearing face mask.
I came out of my car and took off the mask for a few seconds but I saw NG (reporter) taking my pictures. I wore the mask again in a minute. However I take the point. I’ll submit Rs 1000 in Govt Account as a fine and show challah here 🙏 https://t.co/PLMuxUHWKc
