'Maharashtra may extend lockdown if people don't follow discipline': Rajesh Tope
Mumbai: The Maharashtra government may not lift the current lockdown on April 14, when the countrywide restrictions end, if the people of the state do not observe discipline and the number of COVID-19 cases rises, Health Minister Rajesh Tope said on Saturday.
Tope urged people to observe strict discipline so that the number of cases goes down, which will then pave the way for lifting of the lockdown.
He, however, said that the lockdown will be lifted in phases whenever it is done, so that "not all the people can be allowed to come on to the streets at one go".
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had announced the 21-day lockdown in the country to combat the spread of the coronavirus on March 24. "People must strictly observe discipline.
