Covid-19: Don't extend lockdown, BJP tells Thane civic chief

THANE: A BJP delegation on Friday met Thane municipal commissioner Vipin Sharma and asked him not to extend the coronavirus-induced lockdown as it was severely affecting the lives of people while not producing results in terms of bringing down the number of Covid-19 cases.
The delegation comprised Thane BJP unit chief and MLC Niranjan Davkhare, MLA Sanjay Kelkar, TMC group leader Sanjay Waghule, corporator Bharat Chavan and others.
The current lockdown with minimal exemptions ends on July 19 in the city.
