देश मे लाखों ATM हैं. इन मूर्खों से सैनिटाइजर बचाने के लिए हर ATM में 200-300रु का पिंजड़ा लगाना पड़े तो सैकड़ों करोड़ रु इसी में लगेंगे.
आपके मर्यादित आचरण से ये पैसे बचते और आपकी भलाई में ही लगते...

We should find him and punish him with fines 10 times the price of this sanitizer bottle.

सर ऐसे ही लोगो की वजह से ट्रेनो के वाशरूम में डिब्बो को चैन से बाधा जाता है, जितने रुपये का डब्बा नही उससे ज्यादा रुपये चैन में खर्च करना पड़ता है , सार्वजनिक संपत्ति को लोग अपनी माने तो वो भी एक तरह से देश सेवा ही होगी ..शर्मनाक हरकत

Like he said. Kleptomaniacs. There is absolutely no reason why he'd steal something so omnipresent rather than 'just because he wanted it'.

Please trace this person. Send him to a psychiatrist.

People need to change their perspective towards Public property. It certainly does not mean Personal.
शर्मनाक ..
