Pune (Maharashtra) [India], April 3 (ANI): Amid the recent surge in COVID-19 cases, the Maharashtra government has ordered all religious sites in Pune to remain completely closed from Saturday till April 9.
Sandeep Mahajan, a local said, I think it is a good decision in the interest of the society. It will help people and safeguard them from the dangers of the coronavirus. People who are religious can come to the temple and pray for the fulfilment of their wishes while maintaining social distancing.
Pallavi Mahajan, another local, said that the decision reduces crowding and it can help contain the spread of the infection.
