Meanwhile, Kiran Mazumdar Shaw tweeted, “I just studied the Maharashtra and BMC model of decentralised Covid management n super impressed with its uniquely thought out processes Kudos to @OfficeofUT n @mybmc n its dynamic Iqbal Singh Chahal. The whole country should follow these COVID beating methods.”
Maharashtra has been the worst-affected state during the second wave of COVID-19 infections. Though some of its cities, including Mumbai, have seen consistent improvement, the situation in many parts of the state remains of concern.
A few days ago, Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on the COVID-19 situation in the state and applauded efforts taken by Maharashtra government in tackling the second wave.
