He instructed the officials concerned to give possession of flats to their owners immediately.
Do not spread misinformation
Thanking warkaris for agreeing to the government’s decision to allow the annual palkhi procession with a restricted number of pilgrims (warkaris), Ajit Pawar said, “Around 23 warkaris arrived to join the procession tested positive after undergoing the RT-PCR test. The government has to implement some rules and regulations to check the spread of Covid-19. The government has no intention to disappoint pilgrims. However, some people spread misinformation by giving different versions. No one should spread such misinformation.”
