Are current restrictions on the movement of citizens working, it asks govt.
The Bombay High Court on Thursday asked the Maharashtra government if it was time to think of imposing a lockdown like last year for 15 days to control the spread of the novel coronavirus. A division bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice G.S. Kulkarni was hearing a PIL seeking proper management of medicines, oxygen and beds for COVID-19 patients. The Chief Justice asked Advocate General Ashutosh Kumbhakoni if the State believed its current restrictions on the movement of citizens were working and that people were out on roads only for urgent business.More Related News
