Amid rising coronavirus cases in Maharashtra, the Thane administration on March 8 announced a lockdown in 16 hotspots of the district. Lockdown will be in force until March 31 but there is confusion whether it comes into force from March 9 or March 13. The order to implement lockdown strictly was given by Municipal Commissioner Dr Vipin Sharma. A total of 16 localities in three circles of Thane have been declared hotspots (restricted areas) due to rising cases. The Kalwa Ward Committee area in Circle One has hotspots in Witwa, Ainagar, Suryanagar, Kharegaon area, while Chendni Koliwara, Wagle & Srinagar area. Circle two have hotspots such as Lodha Amara, Hiranandani Estate, Hiranandani Meadows Housing Complex and Lokmanya. Savarkarnagar Ward Committee Area hotspots are at Dostanagar, Shivai Nagar, Chorus Tower, Kolabad & Rustomji Vrindavan. Maharashtra has been recording over 10,000 cases for the past few days.
