On 17 April, state government decided to relax lockdown restrictions, allowing certain economic activities such as agriculture, construction and manufacturing to resume from 20 April in non-containment zones.[89] However, on 21 April, as the number of cases continued to surge, the government withdrew the relaxation in MMR and Pune.[90]

Containment measures

On 26 March, BMC started marking pitches, one metre away from each other, outside grocery stores, fruits and vegetables shops in the city, in order to maintain social distancing. This model was first implemented in Pune on 24 March.[91]

From 1 April, Mumbai Police started using a network of 5,000 CCTV cameras along with drones in order to monitor different parts of the city and ensure that the lockdown is observed.[92] Apart from Mumbai, drones were also used in densely-populated areas of Thane district such as Mumbra and Bhiwandi for aerial surveillance and relaying audio messages and warnings.[93]

On 8 April, Mumbai became the first Indian city to make wearing facemasks in public places compulsory.[94] On the following day, the state government decided to deploy State Reserve Police Force in the city for stricter enforcement of the lockdown.[95]

On 31st May, the Maharashtra Government issued detailed guidelines for offices, which include mandatory thermal screening, use of sanitisers and social distancing[96].

In June, the cases in Dharavi, Mumbai dropped significantly because of preventive measures like testing and early isolation[97].

The corporation also conducted door-to-door surveys covering 5.67 lakh houses and 24 lakh people[98]. The civic body has also started shifting homeless people to city shelters[99].

Transport

Over 20,000 bus services of Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation were cancelled since 11 March, which caused the organisation losses of ₹3 crore by 17 March.[112] Indian Railways cancelled 23 trains from the state in order to prevent the spread of the virus to other states.[113] Government of Gujarat started screening people entering from Mumbai and other borders with Maharashtra by mid of March. The state border was sealed completely during the first lockdown. Since Mumbai started facing the pandemic before Gujarat these precautionary measures were taken as soon as the first lockdown began. Government of Telangana implemented screening of people entering the state of Telangana from Maharashtra at four entry points.[114] Government of Madhya Pradesh suspended all bus services between Indore and Maharashtra until 31 March.[115]

On 22 March, the Indian Railways announced that the Mumbai Suburban Railway will be closed between 22 and 31 March.

Thackeray announced that state-run and private bus services will be suspended for the general public until further notice.[86][116]

Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC), the state’s biggest passenger transporter is diversifying 310 public transportation buses into goods transportation buses in Nagpur, because of depleting revenue due to the lockdown. The target is to convert 3,000 buses.[117]

Tourism

According to a 17 March article in the Indian Express, the economy of Mumbai was projected to suffer losses worth at least ₹ 16,000 crore per month in the service sector, as a result of the outbreak. In addition, it predicted that the city's tourism industry would lose ₹ 2,200 crore per month from international tourists.[126]

The entertainment industry in the state also suffered financially, with several Bollywood films postponing release dates or halting production, causing an "acute financial crunch" for many members of the Federation of Western India Cine Employees.[127] Bollywood films were estimated to lose box office revenue of over ₹ 1,300 crore due to the lockdown.[128]

On 30 March, the state government slashed electricity tariff by an average of 8 percent for a period of five years in order to minimize the economic impact of the outbreak on industries.[129] Deputy Chief Minister and Finance Minister, Ajit Pawar, announced that the March salaries of all elected representatives (MLAs, MLCs and Chief Minister) would be cut by 60 percent, while some of the government employees will also see 25 to 50 percent salary cuts due to the economic crisis arising from outbreak and lockdown.[130]

Efforts to improve the economy

According to the Maharashtra government, 60,000 industries have been re-opened in the state, which employ close to 1.5 million people.[131] The government also states that there have been investment intentions (FDI) from countries such as Germany, Japan, Russia.[131]

Migrant workers

After the enforcement of lockdown, scores of migrant labourers in Maharashtra who were left without work began to leave for their respective states.[132] Thousands of workers reportedly started going to Gujarat and Rajasthan by foot as transport facilities were suspended, but were stranded at the state border.[133] Thackeray appealed to the migrant workers to not travel back to their states,[134] and announced a ₹ 45 crore package to provide food and accommodation for migrant labourers.[135] On 30 March, the state government set up 262 relief camps across the state, providing food and shelter to 70,339 migrant workers and homeless people.[136] On 8 April, it was reported that 4,653 camps were functioning across the state, which housed more than 550,000 people. These camps were started by district administrations, labour department, irrigation department and cooperative sugar mills.[137] Several employers such as Larsen & Toubro, Godrej Group and Shapoorji Pallonji announced that they would provide food, accommodation and wages to their migrant labourers.[138]

On 14 April, thousands of migrant workers protested against the lockdown near Bandra railway station in Mumbai, and demanded to be sent back to their states. Police made use of baton charges to disperse the unruly crowd and control the situation.[139]

By 1 May, authorities reported that 11.86 lakh migrant workers had been taken back to their home state by at least 822 Shramik special trains.[140]

Violation of norms

After many suspected patients fled from isolation wards of hospitals, the state government directed officials at hospitals and airports to stamp the left hand of people placed under 14-day home quarantine with details of their quarantine period using indelible ink, so as to easily identify them. It also announced that those who violate the quarantine will be isolated at a government facility.[141]
