MUMBAI: Maharashtra will extend the lockdown in some parts of the state even as it is set to end on 3 May across the country, said chief minister Uddhav Thackeray on Friday. "The question asked is, what after May 3?
I want to make it clear that we cannot lift the lockdown form red zones, like Mumbai-Pune belt, parts of Nagpur and some other places," Thackeray said in a webcast on the occasion of Maharashtra foundation day.
He urged residents not to panic over the situation in the state. "It's only about starting the treatment on time. From few days old babies to 83-year-old people have recovered and gone home.
People put on ventilators have also recovered," he said. Maharashtra became the first state in India to cross the grim milestone
