CM Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray's address to the State;

We are starting activity gradually from today after days of lockdown. The state has been divided in red, orange and green zones. Instructions have been given on what to do, and what not to so.

I have received reports about crowds at many places. Do not draw conclusions about the danger having passed. The lockdown has not been lifted. The more discipline we show, the lockdown will end faster.

The battle against Corona is our priority. But while this happens, some things that are very shameful took place. The Palghar mob lynching occurred on the 16th

Mob lynchings have taken place in other States too for the last five years. I don’t want to play politics here. This is shameful and must not happen. This is not our culture.

This happened in Palghar district, around 110km away from Palghar, on the border of Dadra Nagar Haveli, a union territory. The two sadhus were travelling to Gujarat through a remote area, as there were curbs on the main roads.

They were stopped at the border and asked to leave. On their way back, they were stopped due to a misunderstanding in this remote area, and unfortunately, were killed. There were rumours that thieves were moving around there.
