The chief minister announced at a press conference that passengers who have taken both shots with a 14-day gap after receiving the second will be allowed to travel by local trains beginning August 15. There has been a restriction on local travel by ordinary passengers to ensure the economic cycle continues. According to him, this is being done in order to keep the economy moving forward.

We are therefore able to afford some relaxation now. Lockdowns can again be resorted to when the number of cases increases. Thackeray pleaded with the censor not to invite another wave of Covid.

CM Thackeray announced that individuals with full vaccination can upload information, scan the QR code, download and use the passes through a mobile application, and those without smartphones could obtain them at railway stations or BMC ward offices, he said.

Future Actions for Local Trains & other amenities 

At the Monday meeting with the State Covid Task Force team, Thackeray indicated the decision to relax restrictions on worship places and hotels, restaurants, and malls would only be made after a review. Hotel, restaurant, shopping mall, and place of worship will be chosen in the next 8-10 days. In spite of this, people should still follow the appropriate behavior of the Covids since they have not yet been eradicated. Wearing masks, washing our hands regularly, and observing social distance, and wearing social distance, are all advice offered by the CM.0

In just one day, nearly 50 percent of malls, gymnasiums, yoga centers, salons, beauty parlors, and spas reopened. During the week, shops and establishments are permitted to stay open until 8 pm, and on Saturday they can stay open until 3 pm. However, the Mumbai Municipal Corporation allows hotels and restaurants to stay open until 4 pm on all days throughout the week, while shops can stay open till 10 pm.

Conclusion

The CM also advocated staggered working hours for private offices to avoid overcrowding. Thus, starting local trains for everyone who is vaccinated is great news for Mumbaikars. Would you be the one to avail of this after the lockdown?
