The glorification of the Maha Vikas Aghadi leaders come in the midst of the worsening coronavirus situation in Maharashtra which has so far registered upwards of 1.35 lakh cases and more than 6200 fatalities.
A report in The Guardian says that patients in Mumbai Sion hospital are being made to share beds, even stretchers. Videos of patients lying on the same bed had gone viral earlier in May.
The 23c May order also indirectly bans all criticism of the Maharashtra government led by Uddhhav Thackeray as one of the clauses in the prohibitory order says that messages that incite “mistrust towards government functionaries and their actions taken to control Covid-19” will also be acted against.
