MUMBAI: BMC on Saturday iterated that Mumbai was under level 3 of lockdown restrictions, as laid down by state government’s ‘Break the Chain’ order on Friday. Some lockdown restrictions will be lifted and the order will come into effect from Monday.
The order by municipal commissioner Iqbal Chahal said Mumbai’s positivity rate was 5.56% and bed occupancy for oxygen beds was 32.51%.
The government had left it to BMC to decide whom to allow to travel by local trains. Medical personnel, government officials, airport and port service staff can also travel by local trains but not women. The state government said local bodies like BMC can impose further restrictions on allowing travel by local trains in cities like Mumbai. The decision by BMC in this regard will be applicable for entire MMR.
