Amid raging war of words between the ruling Maha Vikas Aghadi and Opposition BJP over handling of COVID-19, the representatives of Shivsena, NCP and Congress addressed a joint press conference today. The representatives asked the Oppositon to co-operate with the State Government in the battle against COVID-19 instead of creating chaos. Former Chief Minister and Leader of Opposition Devendra Fadnavis meanwhile said that State Government is lying and hiding information on COVID cases in the state.

Augmenting its health infrastructure to cater to more and more patients affected due to COVID-19, the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai has said that its 40-bedded Corona Care Centre (CCC) having ICU facility and another CCC at the Mahalaxmi Race Course in the city will be functional from 30th of this month. A 500-bedded Corona Care Centre is already functional in NSCI. In another development, about 1,600 stranded migrant workers hailing from Tamil Nadu left for the southern state in a special train from the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT). The workers started their journey for Tirunelveli on Tuesday evening, a Railway press statement said today.

Meanwhile, Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh has refuted rumours being spread on social media of Army deployment in Mumbai and Pune to enforce 10-day curfew. He termed the circulation of such messages as baseless and false and said the government is acting against the culprits.
