New guidelines from BMC…Get the details
Friday, 1st October 2021
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Thursday has released a fresh set of standard operating procedures before the upcoming festivities around Navratri. Citizens have been strongly advised to maintain low key and celebrate this year in a simple manner. The guidelines were issued amid growing fears of a surge in COVID-19 as well as dengue cases.
The civic body is encouraging people to have more and more online ‘darshans’ while physical ‘darshans’ will be allowed only in tandem with the adherence of stringent Covid-19 protocols.
The norms issued this time are very similar to the ones that were released during the Ganesh Chaturthi festival that was celebrated some time ago this year. The number of people visiting pandals and attending processions will be restricted.
Here is a list of do’s and don’ts in the guidelines.
The city of Mumbai on Wednesday logged 527 fresh cases of Covid-19 along with 6 fatalities. With these figures, the total numbers of Covid cases rose to 7,42,538 while the death toll is at 16,103.
