COVID Curfew 2021
Owners of eateries insist that all their staff have been following COVID safety protocols and are not responsible for the current spread now, they face imminent bankruptcy and closure due to the pandemic’s double whammy, and feel the authorities should consider some relief for their beleaguered sector

Others in the industry echoed Deshmukh’s sentiments, saying that those in the hospitality business were conscientiously following all COVID-19 safety protocols.

proposal to widen 335 roads in the innards of the city’s many neighbourhoods

PMC) proposal to widen 335 roads across the city, to a breadth of nine metres. With many of the identified streets being the leafy by-lanes of Deccan area, local residents are up in arms questioning the need to expand these stretches that see sparse traffic.
