In an unprecedented move, Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Tuesday directed the state administration to explore the possibility of Mantralaya - the state government headquarters - working in two shifts in view of the rise in Covid-19 cases.

Chief Secretary Sanjay Kumar will prepare the action plan to implement two shifts for all the staff and officers. Besides, the government will also examine the feasibility of Work From Home for certain departments to ensure work at full capacity without the risk of coronavirus.
