The government has scheduled a cabinet meet on Tuesday and, according to people aware of the development, a decision on enforcing a complete lockdown in the state could be taken at this meeting.
“We have as of yet not gone for a full lockdown, we have just put a curfew,” Wadettiwar said. “Now (with cases rising), everyone from traders and common people to political parties are asking us to impose a full lockdown. We have conveyed this to the chief minister, and we are expecting that a decision on the lockdown would be taken in the next two days.”
