Mumbai: The cases of omicron are increasing continuously in the state, Health Minister Rajesh cannon Clarified on Thursday that even when restrictions were being discussed, there were no plans to shut down Mumbai’s local trains. Tope also reiterated that the lockdown was not on the cards.
“Discussions are not taking place on the closure of Mumbai local trains,” he said after a review meeting on COVID cases called by the NCP chief Sharad Pawar,
“Night curfew and weekend curfew were discussed but in the end, CM” Uddhav Thackeray Will decide on restrictions,” Tope said. He also said that the state has no plans to lock down the district.
Officials say that many aspects are being considered before deciding on the restrictions. Restricting categories of train passengers, and reducing attendance at offices and shops and restaurants are some of the restrictions that are being discussed. A senior official said, “We will have to take steps soon to restrict crowds and gatherings, but we have to take care that these are acceptable to the people and do not cripple the economy.”
A decision is likely to come before the weekend.
Meanwhile, state Food and Civil Supplies Minister Chhagan Bhujbal said the government would be forced to take drastic measures, including “no vaccination, no ration” for those who have not taken the jobs. Bhujbal told reporters in Nashik: “Since there are some who are not taking their shots without any valid reason, we may be forced to refuse ration to them, especially in districts where vaccination figures are very low. Huh.”
