Omicron threat: Sec 144 imposed in Mumbai for today, tomorrow as Maharashtra sees most cases
Amid the threat posed by the Omicron Covid variant, Section 144 has been imposed in Mumbai for today and tomorrow.
To curb further spread, rallies, morchas or processions of people or vehicles have been prohibited in Mumbai.
Actions will be take if the order is violated.
Sources in Mumbai Police said the decision to impose Section 144 in the city was taken for two reasons.
The first reason was the rally planned by the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) party because of which several workers came to Mumbai and party chief Asaduddin Owaisi is also likely to attend. In view of the Omicron threat, the police have denied permission for the rally but AIMIM is still going ahead with it. The second reason was the protests planned by the BJP against Sanjay Raut’s statement.
