Hoisting the national Tricolour at Mantralaya and other locations on Saturday, to mark the 74th Independence Day, Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray said the country is now fighting another war for freedom from the corona pandemic.

"The Covid-19 has limited our boundaries of personal freedom, but we have to conquer it unitedly with weapons like self-discipline, cleanliness, hygiene and wearing masks. Only then can we achieve independence from the Coronavirus," Thackeray urged.
