Pooja Bhatt says there is no point having stringent laws in Mumbai as people refuse to take precautions amid the pandemic

Updated : Feb 24, 2021, 08:25 IST

India is witnessing a resurgence of coronavirus. This situation comes at a time when the pandemic appeared to be slowing in the country and globally. The worst affected state, Maharashtra has suddenly witnessed a rise in the daily cases. As Maharashtra looks at the possibility of another lockdown, Pooja Bhatt took to her Twitter handle to share a series of tweets where she opened up about people flouting COVID regulations on the outskirts of Mumbai and that there is no point in having stringent laws. She wrote, ‘Resorts operating on the outskirts of Mumbai host large gatherings with no covid checks & zero social distancing. Raigad in particular is a hot favourite for such events. Local panchayat should ensure all protocol is maintained.' In another tweet, she added, ‘No point having stringent laws in Mumbai when people shift their events to the outskirts where there is no check & zero accountability, putting their own lives & countless other lives of local population in jeopardy.' Recently, the Mayor of Mumbai, Kishori Pednekar had issued a warning, directing citizens to follow the rules or face a lockdown. CM Uddhav Thackeray has also stated that he will be reviewing the need for a fresh lockdown after eight days. Not only this, the Mumbai Police also announced a gentle reminder for several offences, like Rs 500 fine would be charged for offences like 'no helmet', 'no seatbelt' and for not wearing masks, it was Rs 200. Meanwhile, on the work front, Pooja was last seen in home production which was released on streaming platforms.
