This comes after Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray called up Devendra Fadnavis and MNS chief Raj Thackeray, and sought their support for the implementation of a lockdown in the state if needed.
Meanwhile, the government has decided to not impose a complete lockdown in the state for now. However, a strict lockdown will be imposed on Saturdays and Sundays, Maharashtra Minister Aslam Shaikh told reporters after the Cabinet meeting today.
“Night curfew will be put in place from 8 pm to 7 am. Only essential services will be permitted. Restaurants are permitted only for take away & parcel services. For offices, employees will have to work from home. Detailed SOP will be released soon,” Aslam Shaikh said.
