The Maharashtra government has relaxed many restrictions under ‘Mission Begin Again’ which was implemented earlier in June.
“As the city reopens in phases under the guidelines of the state government, it has been observed that many are violating the norms. We appeal Mumbaikars to act responsibly and follow these guidelines at all times so that we can defeat COVID-19,” said Mumbai police in a tweet.
