Lockdown 3.0 : Pune Mayor Murlidhar Mohol ‘Opposes’ the Decision of Opening the Shops From 10 am to 6 pm

Pune : Coronavirus infection has spread worldwide. The condition of the country and the Maharashtra state is worrying. Meanwhile, a third lockdown has started across the country from today (May 4). Which will last till May 17. However from today the administration has decided to keep 5 shops in one lane open in Pune city from 10 am to 6 pm with essential services. This has been opposed by Pune Mayor Muralidhar Moho.

पुण्यात आजपासून अत्यावश्यक सेवेसह लेनमधील पाच दुकाने स.१० ते सा.६ पर्यंत खुली ठेवण्याचा निर्णय घेतला गेलाय. याला माझा विरोध आहे. पुणेकरांनी पहिले दोन लॉकडाऊन व्यवस्थित पाळले असताना आणि रुग्णसंख्या आटोक्यात येण्याची शक्यता असताना नवे आदेश शहराला परवडणारे नाहीत,अशी माझी भूमिका आहे.

Mayor Moho said that the Pune people have followed the two lockdowns well. The number of patients could be less, but the new order is not good for the people of Pune. The city is currently heavily crowded at shops, especially outside liquor shops. Many people are still not serious about coronavirus. Citizens are leaving homes without masks. A crowd of people is also seen at some places. However, the police administration is constantly appealing to all citizens to wear masks as well as not to walk in streets without reason.

However, the rules are violated by the citizens. Pune people may have to pay a heavy price for this. Also, Pune Mayor Muralidhar Mohol has opposed the decision to keep shops in the city open from 10 am to 6 pm.
