Lockdown was relaxed under ‘Mission Begin Again’. Concession was given to start daily work on the condition that all the rules should be followed as per the guidelines of the government.

Therefore, direct action should be taken against the violators under the Infectious Diseases Control Act with immediate effect, said Municipal Commissioner Tukaram Mundhe.
