The district administration has set up a helpline to attend to the calls of the needy in want of food during the ongoing 21-day nationwide lockdown.
Singh made the man clean the drain to “shame” him for making a frivolous call.
“We are receiving several calls on our helpline number in which people are asking for pizza and 'samosas'. So, now we have started ‘publicly shaming’ such people to discourage others who are making fun of this pandemic,” The Times of India has quoted the DM as saying.
The report says the man is from Rampur’s Swar tehsil.
Singh’s act was widely supported by social media users.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
