Several civil society organisations together wrote to Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Monday, voicing concerns over the new COVID-related restrictions and gave suggestions related to migrant workers, livelihood, healthcare, vaccination, food security, etc.

“There is not much clarity on the state of the crisis faced by migrant workers, daily wage earners and many other workers in the informal sector due to the new restrictions. We have witnessed firsthand the brutality of a complete lockdown on the majority poor population,” the letter said.
