Strict restrictions and lockdown imposed due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has affected the daily lives of the people. The decision was taken by the government over the last few weeks, and the current lockdown in Maharashtra is expected to end on June 1, 2021. However, no official announcement has been made yet.
Meanwhile, travelling is restricted for citizens in Mumbai, and only working for the essential services have been permitted to use public transport including the Mumbai local trains. Observing this distress among Mumbaikars, MNS leader Sandeep Deshpande, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), took to Twitter to share advice with the government asking the officials to permit fully vaccinated citizens to travel by the local trains.
ज्या नागरिकांचं लसीकरण पूर्ण झालं असेल त्यांना लोकल ने प्रवास करण्याची परवानगी दिली पाहिजे.

However, responding to this, the Minister of State for Relief and Rehabilitation, Vijay Vadettiwar, while addressing the media, said that the Mumbai local train services will not resume for another two weeks keeping the congestion in mind.
