After his nephew was tested positive for Coronavirus, a sitting BJP corporator from Shivajinagar area along with 28 more people have been asked to be in home quarantine till their tests are done.

The corporator of Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) is a resident of Kamgarputla area in Shivajinagar and lives in the slum locality. “The nephew of the BJP corporator was tested positive for coronavirus on Tuesday. Soon, the PMC administration initiated action of tracing the contacts of the patient,” said a civic officer.
