Crowd gathers in huge numbers outside Bandra station after news of lockdown extension
Due to Coronavirus, the lockdown has been increased in the country today but a huge violation of lockdown has come to light in Mumbai. People gathered on the streets in huge numbers. Hundreds of workers gathered at the Bandra station and were demonstrating. The risk of corona outbreak has increased with so many people coming on the road. So many people coming on the road together creates a lot of questions.
According to the information, these people told the problem of food and are demanded to be sent home. The overcrowding of such a crowd in Mumbai badly affected by Corona is quite frightening. The police had to use force to disperse the crowds. It is being told that at around 4:30 pm people were gathering near Bandra station. The police arrived and tried to convince at first, but around 6 o’clock seeing that it was having no effect the police had to use force.
