Udupi, Jun 3: Wearing of masks has been made mandatory as they can effectively prevent the spread of coronavirus infection in public places. Now masks depicting different kinds of fashions have taken over the market. They are also in heavy demand.

A number of tailors who had become jobless as grand functions and ceremonies were banned have now got busy in preparing masks of different designs.

This initiative has also won the hearts of the people as they get high-quality reusable masks which they can make use of when moving in public places.
