It seems to be an unending wait for Mumbai to get some relief in terms of lockdown relaxations, as the city faces uncertainty over cyclonic storm Nisarga that is expected to cross the north Maharashtra coast on June 3. Even if the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation issues its guidelines for unlocking the city today, implementation will happen only after the storm passes. While the state government has prepared its disaster management plan, all coastal cities and districts of the state have been put on high alert.

It was expected that the BMC would issue its order by Monday evening, but the plan was put on hold due to a cyclone warning. According to reports, the cyclone will hit the city tomorrow. While a meeting of top BMC officials was held on Monday, the civic body will take some time to issue the guidelines. "The order may be out on Tuesday but its implementation may be put on hold till Thursday due to the uncertainty over the cyclone approaching the state," said a civic official.
