Even BJP leader and former chief minister of Maharashtra Devendra Fadnavis had also said that restrictions on account of the Covid-19 pandemic in Pune should be relaxed as they are affecting businesses and commerce. “There should be strict restrictions in the cities where the infection positivity rate is above five per cent.
