Mumbai (SunstarTV Bureau): In the wake of rising Covid-19 cases in Maharashtra, the Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray indicated another phase of restrictive measure in state.
Meanwhile, Mahindra Group Chairman Anand Mahindra has said Thackeray to focus should be given on strengthening the medical infrastructure and curbing morality instead of imposing another lockdown.
By tagging Maharashtra Chief Minister’s office on Monday tweeted, “The problem,@OfficeofUTji, is that the people a lockdown hurts most are the poor, migrant workers & small businesses. The original lockdowns were essentially to buy time to build up hospital/health infrastructure. Let`s focus on resurrecting that & on avoiding mortality.”
The tweet has come from Mahindra group Chairman after reviewing another lockdown in state by Maha Government. Notably, the tally has crossed 2.70 million on Sunday, a day after the death toll mounts above 54,000.
“Plan for lockdown… If there is no adherence to restrictions by the people, we may have to go in for it (lockdown) if people fail to follow the new normal,” a grim Thackeray said on Sunday at a meeting of the Covid-19 Task Force.
