The lockdown is taking a toll on those suffering from critical diseases in the city. One such case happened on Monday after a senior citizen — a cancer patient — missed out on her scheduled chemotherapy session. The police refused to let her relative cross Dahisar toll naka, where the woman Mridula Mulye resides with her daughter Nitya.

Nitya told mid-day that the her mother's condition may worsen as she has missed her two chemotherapy sessions already due to the lockdown.
