Amid the alarming exponential rise in COVID-19 cases, Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) and the district administration had already imposed a curfew between 6 pm and 6 am for the next entire week, inviting outrage from various industries that were already struggling after last year’s lockdown. Now, the state government has once again announced stricter lockdownlike (break the chain) restrictions till the end of month, sparking even louder protests. In an order on Monday evening, the civic body announced that all non-essential shops and services will stay completely shut till the end of the month.
