The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation launched its intensive testing drive on Monday at public places like malls, ST bus depots, markets, etc. On Saturday, the civic body had set a target of 47,000 tests daily. The response on Day One was moderate as there weren’t that many people in the malls, it being a Monday, and those who turned up were not willing to pay. THE G North ward office conducted testing at Senapati Bapat Marg outside Dadar station. People without masks were asked to get tested. Out of 68 citizens and hawkers, seven were positive.
