“Today I am compelled to announce a state-wide curfew. People were not listening, and we are compelled” Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray tweeted a few minutes ago.
Further are a list of directives that will come into force within the next couple of hours. All district borders sealed; no inter-district transportation allowed as Maharashtra government announces a state-wide curfew. All essential services to function and their transportation also allowed but with restrictions. Yesterday we sealed the state borders and today we are sealing district borders. This move was calculated to not allow it to spread to the districts which remain unaffected as of now.
Essentials like groceries, milk, bakery, medical etc will remain open. People need not panic. All religious places will remain closed until further notice. Only the priests and clerics alone will be authorized inside to perform the required rituals.
Also announced by the Aviation Ministry no domestic or commercial flight will operate in India from Wednesday 25th onward. Airlines will have to land all their domestic passenger flights at destinations by 11.59 pm on Tuesday.
