Women exiting Ranganathan street should return the band, said police. While police have made 1,000 such bands by getting spare materials from showrooms and stitching it with the help of tailors. Police have plans to make more such bands anticipating more crowd as Deepavali nears. Though the government discourages people to throng shops, almost all the shopping hubs are witnessing more footfalls now.
