Mumbai: Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Friday announced that all offices and shops in Mumbai, Pune, Pimpri Chinchwad and Nagpur have been closed till March 31 to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Essential services such as groceries, medicines and milk will be made available from time to time, Thackeray said.
