Of the many demands raised by Congress city chief Bhai Jagtap and other party leaders before municipal commissioner Iqbal Singh Chahal on Monday, the major one was restrictions for shopping centres and malls in certain parts of the city. Jagtap along with others met the civic chief and said that people were not following COVID-19 protocols at many shopping places and that they should be shut down.

He said that a couple of shopping centres in Kandivli and Malad were witnessing huge crowds and they were not following COVID-appropriate behaviour.
