Stepping outside homes recklessly will be inviting third wave: Uddhav Thackeray

CM launches ‘corona-free village’ drive. Restrictions extended till June 15

Stepping recklessly out of homes was akin to giving an invitation to a “third wave” of the pandemic, said Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Sunday while informing that the government had decided to extend the lockdown-like restrictions till June 15. Mr. Thackeray said the Central government must come up with a common policy on the conduct of exams in this period given the confusion on the State board and other exams. “While a State where the situation under control may conduct exams, the situation has yet to stabilise in other States. While we will announce the decision on Class 12 board exams soon, there must be a a uniform policy on this. Some radical decisions need to be taken in education by the Centre just like the work from home (WFH) policy for corporates and private offices,” he said.
