With religious fervour expected to be at its peak because of the liberal policy of certain states, and political activism refusing to take a backseat despite the warning of the third wave of the Covid-19 pandemic, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray has suggested to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, to implement a uniform national policy to prevent crowding at such gatherings.

Thackeray was speaking on Friday at the PM’s video conference with the CMs of six states where the Covid-19 caseload is still worrisome. He briefed the PM about the state’s second wave status and its preparedness to mitigate the third wave, if any.
