As retail traders and hoteliers across Maharashtra continue to oppose the State government restrictions, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Wednesday said that the lockdown was not against anyone but part of efforts to curb the spread of COVID-19, and everyone would have to adhere to it. “The government has no interest in closing down everything and jeopardise lives. We had been warning people for months. The way the number of patients is rising, the government facilities are likely to run out of space. These are testing times and I urge all to not speak the language of conflict and to not fall prey to the provocation by anyone,” Mr. Thackeray said at a meeting with representatives of trader associations.
