Maharashtra will gradually lift lockdown restrictions after May 31, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray said on Sunday.

The fourth phase of the nationwide lockdown ends on May 31. Maharashtra, worst-hit by the Covid-19 pandemic in India, has reported 47,190 positive cases and 1,577 fatalities as of Sunday morning. 

Thackeray said the state would take cautious steps for reopening as there was a danger of cases multiplying fast. He said the sudden imposition of lockdown and then lifting it at one go was like digging one’s own grave and he won’t do it.
