Mumbai, 4 April 2021 Sunday

The state government of Uddhav Thackeray has tightened the rules to control the record-breaking Korona virus in Maharashtra. The state has announced a weekend and night lockdown. For a long time, questions were raised as to whether the state would face a lockdown again after the increasing cases of corona. Taking a decision in this regard, the Maharashtra government announced after the cabinet meeting that no lockdown would be announced in the state till April 30.

So, arrangements like weekend and night lockdown will try to get control over Corona's cases. Under this, lockdown will be held in the state from 8 pm on Friday to 8 am on Monday. So, only those who do essential service at night will be allowed to drive or travel. During this time, buses, trains and rickshaws will be allowed to run and only as many people as will be able to travel in the bus will be able to travel.

Theaters, restaurants, malls and bars will be completely closed. Shootings where more performers and staff have to be present will also not be allowed. State government minister Aslam Sheikh made the announcement on Sunday.

Amid concerns about Corona, 600 buildings in the capital Mumbai have been sealed so far. That is, no one will be able to go in or out of these buildings. Permission will be granted only in special circumstances. All essential items will be delivered at the gate. The buildings are sealed for 14 days.
