Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray wants the central government to make it mandatory for international passengers from select countries to quarantine at their arrival city, and then travel to their final destination.

His proposal comes in view of certain instances where certain international passengers are evading quarantine in Maharashtra by travelling via other states. Domestic travellers are not required to go into isolation after arrival. By evading the healthcare precaution, some 'smart' passengers are creating problems for their parent state.
