Amid the on-going speculation of an imposition of a fresh lockdown in Maharashtra, the government would hold a review meet within two days to decide the same.

The same was reported in an article published in CNN-News18, which further mentioned that the government was considering all available options to curb the spike in COVID-19 across the state.

Also, officials, who have been in loop vis-à-vis the developments on COVID-19 and the possible restrictions, said Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray was likely to address the citizens in the coming two to three days.

Mumbai Guardian Minister Aslam Shaikh said that a decision on lockdown would be taken whenever required.

He claimed that if the spike in a city aggravates further, there could be a possibility of shutting down nightclubs there. The same report quoted Shaikh by saying, We cannot deny the possibility of a night curfew or partial lockdown if this continues. We are fining people for not wearing masks. We may have to shut places like beaches and Gateway (of India) where people gather in the evenings. People need to take precautions.

Additional Municipal Commissioner in the BMC Suresh Kakani said that the civic body so far has no proposal on lockdown. CNN-News18 quoted him by saying, We are going to have a meeting today evening. But there is no proposal in front of us for this. Not on agenda too.
