Coronavirus (COVID-19) cases in the state are increasing significantly, and strict rules have been imposed across several districts. Mumbai has once again become a hotspot and observing the same, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has taken steps to curb the spread of the virus. On March 19, 2021, CM had stated that if people do not follow the rules as directed by the government, the state will have to face another lockdown, as that is being considered as an option for the COVID-19 crisis.
Meanwhile, Aaditya Thackeray had recently met several ministers and officials from the government to review the bicycle track project and various other works which are being conducted in Mumbai.
