Maharashtra may soon allow people who are fully vaccinated against the coronavirus disease to travel on its local trains unrestricted. State cabinet minister Aslam Shaik said on Wednesday that a decision can be taken in two or three days.
"As a minister, I am also of the view that person whose two doses are completed should be allowed to travel in Mumbai local, we have also informed chief minister about this. After studying the report by the task force, a decision on Mumbai local will be taken in next two to three days," Shaikh, who is the guardian minister of Mumbai, said while speaking to mediapersons.
He added that a detailed discussion took place in one of the cabinet meetings recently about allowing fully vaccinated people to travel in suburban trains and BrihanMumbai Electric Supply and Transport buses.
The Maharashtra government started easing the Covid-19 curbs in the state as cases of the disease showed a decline. But, in view of the second wave of Covid-19 and delta plus variant spreading fast, some of the curbs were brought back. The state imposed stricter norms by reducing the five-level relaxation plan to three after cases of delta plus variants were found last month.
