Maharashtra govt seeks two days to issue fresh guidelines on local train travel for unvaccinated

The Maharashtra government on Monday sought two days from the Bombay High Court to issue fresh guidelines on whether to allow those people who are unvaccinated or partially vaccinated against Covid-19 to board local trains, and enter malls and workplaces.

The Maharashtra government on February 22 had told the high court that it was ready to withdraw “illegal” circulars and standard operating procedures issued on July 15, August 10 and August 11 last year that permitted only fully-vaccinated people to board local trains and visit malls and workplaces.
