Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray expressed concern
Seeing the ever-increasing cases of corona infection in Maharashtra, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray has expressed concern that you all must be wondering what we are doing. We have been seriously following Corona infection prevention measures since March but so far we have not been able to control this epidemic. So far we have not defeated Corona nor stopped its cases. Red, Orange, and Green zones have been created in the state. Gradually more concessions will be given in the Green and Orange zones but concessions cannot be given in the Red Zone.
