Mumbai, Feb 16: Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) mayor Kishori Pednekar on Tuesday warned of another lockdown in Mumbai in upcoming days ‘if people don’t follow rules’.
“It’s a matter of concern. Most people traveling in trains don’t wear masks. People must take precautions else we’d head towards another lockdown. Whether lockdown will be implemented again, is in the hands of people”, news agency ANI quoted Pednekar as saying.
The Mayor said the BMC may plan for localised lockdowns in areas like Chembur where cases are on the rise.
