Mumbai lockdown in pictures

In a major step to curb the spread of Coronavirus in the country, India has completely locked down 32 states and UTs which includes 560 districts as an preventive measure to stop the spread of virus in the country. Nearly 500 Coronavirus cases have been reported in India so far with Maharashtra being the worst affected state with 101 cases, according to Health Ministry data on Tuesday.

A city that never sleeps; a 24×7 city; a city that’s always on the move. Yet Mumbai stopped and stayed at home after the city was put into lockdown after Coronavirus pandemic – an attempt at social distancing during these times of the Coronavirus.
