Lift coronavirus lockdown by mid-May, Mamata Banerjee tells Centre

For the third day in a row, Banerjee hit the streets of Kolkata and advised people to strictly follow the lockdown norms, saying this was needed to break the chain of coronavirus transmission.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday said she wants   the lockdown to be rolled back in two weeks after May 4. In an interview to NDTV, the CM said: “As a citizen and TMC chief, I want lockdown to be scaled back.” She said the lockdown should be lifted in two stages.
 

“Lift 25 per cent of lockdown in week beginning May 4, reopen 50 per cent in second week after May 4, and total roll back should happen in two weeks after May 4.”
