After a discussion with other leaders, Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Thursday claimed that the state will control the spread of the pandemic by the end of this month.
He addressed the public through a virtual conference and praised the constant efforts of the Union government towards them. He also expressed his gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi who had always been available for any kind of guidance amidst this crisis.
“I have been talking to you over the telephone and seeking your views. I am also reading what you say in the media. If they are good suggestions, I ask the administration to look into them,” he said to Modi.
The Centre is also cooperating. The prime minister is easily available for guidance on critical issues,” Thackeray said.
He stated that the lockdown has helped to check the sharp rise of the coronavirus cases in the month of April and they should also remain conscious in May. A requisite number of isolation centres have been set up since the victims of COVID-19 is still surging.
The Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) told that their opponents have always been with the state government in this battle against the deadly pathogen.
Recently, the containment zones in Malegaon and Aurangabad have been identified as the hotspots of the virus. CM has urged the residents of these areas to abide by the rules and asked the local elected representatives to act jointly with the govt.
Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar has requested the opposition party leaders to assist the farmers who haven’t received the farm loan waiver which may prove beneficial while taking crop loans.
