Maharashtra to extend lockdown beyond June 30, says Uddhav Thackeray; relaxations to be offered gradually

The lockdown period in Maharashtra will be extended beyond June 30, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray said on Sunday, adding more relaxations will be offered gradually in the state. Citing the continuous threat of coronavirus, Thackeray had earlier ruled out easing restrictions in Maharashtra. The unlock process, dubbed ‘Mission Begin Again’ is being gradually implemented to put the economy back on track, Thackeray said. On cancelling the Dahi Handi celebrations, the chief minister said it will not be cancelled but the celebration will happen in a different way.
