 "Uddhav Thackeray")
Maharashtra will gradually lift lockdown restrictions after May 31, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray said on Sunday.
The fourth phase of the nationwide lockdown ends on May 31. Maharashtra, worst-hit by the Covid-19 pandemic in India, has reported 47,190 positive cases and 1,577 fatalities as of Sunday morning.
Thackeray said the state would take cautious steps for reopening as there was a danger of cases multiplying fast. He said the sudden imposition of lockdown and then lifting it at one go was like digging one’s own grave and he won’t do it.
