Maharashtra: Complete lockdown in Nagpur from March 15 to 21

Nagpur: Due to the rapid spike in the Corona-19 positive cases from the last few days and after the city reported more than 1700 cases on March 10, Guardian Minister of Nagpur Dr Nitin Raut has ordered a strict lockdown in the city from March 15 to March 21.
