Even as the fresh COVID-19 cases in the city rose again on Tuesday and hit 3,552, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) asked Mumbaikars to stay away from celebrating Holi during the weekend and behave responsibly. Not only have public celebrations been banned, the civic body has also asked people not to celebrate it among family members, and anybody found violating norms would be booked.
