Nationalist Congress Party president Sharad Pawar on Friday met Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray to discuss issues related to the unlocking measures that have created confusion among people in the state and also exposed a lack of coordination within the Maha Vikas Aghadi partners.

Pawar has conferred with Thackeray whenever the situation appeared to be going beyond control. The MMR and various cities have seen a steep spike in the COVID cases in the unlocking period of 30 days. An alarmed CM has made restrictions even stricter in some areas, especially MMR. But the NCP and Congress are reported to have disputed some decisions that they say were taken without their knowledge and caused inconvenience to the people and defeated the very purpose of unlocking — Mission Begin Again.
