Mumbai . Taking an important decision, after two years, the Maharashtra government on Thursday decided to lift all the COVID-19 restrictions. Officials have given this information on Thursday. Accordingly, from April 1, there will be no restriction on public movement, social, religious or political gatherings, weddings, funerals, malls, cinemas, shopping plazas, traveling by trains, buses, etc.
A decision to this effect was taken unanimously in the cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray this afternoon in view of the steep fall in the number of COVID-19 cases.
However, the government has recommended physical distancing and voluntarily wearing of face-masks as a precaution, though there will be no penalty for defaulters.
Housing Minister Dr. Jitendra Awhad said that with the relaxation of state restrictions, people can celebrate Gudi Padwa and Babasaheb Ambedkar Jayanti with procession and the upcoming holy month of Ramzan with full gusto.
The state imposed a nationwide lockdown on March 24, 2020, and after the first few months of stringent restrictions, the restrictions were lifted in phases during the first, second and third waves.
