Social activists and civil society organisations from the Mumbai Metropolitan Region have urged four police commissioners to ensure that cops do not use force while enforcing COVID curbs. 

In a letter to police chief of Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Thane and Mira Bhayander Vasai Virar, the petitioners have underscored the “anxiety and fear among the vulnerable communities, particularly the homeless, migrant and informal workers, daily wage earners, sex workers, domestic workers, and other marginalised groups” in the MMR.
