New Delhi: Maharashtra has rarely fallen off the list of Indian states worst hit by Covid-19 since April 2020, and now, another recent surge is causing grave worry.
The state accounts for 56 per cent of all active cases in India currently, with eight of the top 10 districts in the country. In the last one month, in fact, Maharashtra has shown an explosive spurt in active cases from 36,917 on 11 February to 1,00,240 on 11 March.
