MUMBAI: A day after the Maharashtra government empowered the local authorities to fix timings for opening up of beaches, gardens and parks among easing of other restrictions, the BMC issued detailed orders for allowing them (beaches, gardens and parks) to stay open as per normal timing before the advent of the Covid-I9 pandemic.
The BMC order also stated that there shall be no restrictions on movement during night hours of 11pm to 5am. BMC commissioner IS Chahal said that positivity rate of Covid cases had dropped to 1.5%. In early January, positivity rate had touched almost 30% which was a concern owing to which restrictions were imposed.
