Mumbai, Ta. Thursday, April 15, 2021

Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray has written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In which he has given various advices to prevent the spread of Corona virus. At the same time, it has demanded appropriate steps to provide relief to the people and entrepreneurs of the state amid the growing Koro crisis in Maharashtra.

Uddhav Thackeray has written that the situation in the state is deteriorating due to Corona, in view of which he has suggested extending the deadline for small and middle class taxpayers to file GST returns for March, April and May by three months.

The letter further states that the situation in the state is deteriorating due to the corona virus. Teva corona virus can be declared a national epidemic. Apart from this, the state governments should get a fund of Rs 100 per day for each adult and Rs 60 per day for children. The money will be given to people registered in ration cards under Antyodaya Anna Yojana and Priority House Hold Schemes.

Businesses have been hit hard by last year's nationwide lockdown and subsequent Corona. As a result, traders are facing economic constraints. This money should come from the State Disaster Response Fund. The first installment of the relief fund should be given to the state government as soon as possible so that help can be delivered to the affected people.
