MUMBAI: The Mumbai Metropolitan Region and Pimpri-Chinchwad, Pune's extended city limits, may implement a hyperlocal or granular lockdown plan, to contain the spread of coronavirus while allowing economic activity, said two government officials aware of the development.
Through this, the state government is looking at a lockdown model which is more fluid-- even at the street level. This would not only serve the purpose of saving lives, but also livelihood, said a government official studying the model for implementation.
India, which partially opened up its $2.9 trillion economy on 4 May, has seen its metro cities and major towns still under lockdown with most of economic activity suspended.
