Maharashtra has the highest number of cases of Omicron
A total of 41 cases of Omicron variant are present across the country and 20 are from Maharashtra alone. In this way half of the country’s cases of Omicron variants are in Maharashtra itself. In such a situation, there is a growing apprehension whether Maharashtra will also become the stronghold of Omicron variants. Earlier, about half of the cases of the delta variant that caused the second wave had been coming from Maharashtra for a long time. Not only this, there were also a large number of deaths in Maharashtra.
In view of such increasing case of Omicron in Maharashtra, a large section is fearing to impose lockdown or strict restrictions once again in the state. But the state government is in no mood to do such experiments once again. However, section 144 of CrPC was imposed here on 48 hours (11 and 12 December) after three new cases were found in Mumbai. But this section was limited only to the extent of Mumbai. Under this, there is a ban on holding political rallies, programs. In Nashik too, the discussion among the people is in full swing whether the lockdown will be imposed once again.
Rust on with Omicron following the three ‘T’ formula
