After his pothole moonwalk, Nanjundaswamy had come up with another innovative idea of 3D coronavirus street art across Bengaluru. The artist had turned streets as his canvas to educate the public on the need to stay at home during the novel coronavirus crisis.
Meanwhile, the state government has permitted many relaxations over the strict lockdown measures that forced public life inside their homes for over a month. The government has also let open liquor shops across the state.
