MUMBAI: BMC on Monday filed an FIR at N M Joshi Marg police station against a restaurant and bar at Kamala Mills Compound (Lower Parel) for flouting Covid-19 norms. BMC said teams were on the lookout for violators. Assistant municipal commissioner (G South ward) Sharad Ughade said, “We filed an FIR and served YOUnion a show-cause notice, asking why its licence should not be suspended. We are writing to all restaurants in the area to ensure they follow Covid-appropriate behaviour.”
BJP MLA Ashish Shelar said despite CM Uddhav Thackeray’s orders, pubs in his son, Aaditya’s constituency (Worli) were operational beyond midnight. A video clip was circulated by Raj Thackeray-led MNS’s former corporator Santosh Dhuri alleging that norms were being flouted in Worli. Dhuri told TOI he was shocked to see youngsters crowding the pub on Sunday. “Is Covid restricted to koliwadas and chawls of Worli? Why should BMC not act against such spaces, where rules are not being followed, and people without masks are dancing?,” said Dhuri.
