Pune: Considering the rapid increase in the number of COVID-19 cases in the city, only three persons including the driver are allowed to travel in rickshaws, taxis and four-wheelers in the city. Also, a maximum of 50 people is allowed for weddings and other events as informed by the Commissioner of Police K Venkatesh via twitter. 

Meanwhile, the city witnessed massive blockades at several places from Friday night.
 
A rapid spread of COVID-19 contagion has been witnessed by the city from the past few days. Every day around 800 to 900 new cases are registered. Therefore the district administration, Municipal Corporation and police administration are working tirelessly to get control over the spread of COVID-19.

Ever since the lockdown has been relaxed in some amount people are constantly violating the physical distancing by crowding at several places. Several people unnecessarily coming out of the home is also high. The number of patients is also increasing in non-restricted areas of the city.
