Need For Maharashtra Unlock In A Phased Manner
Maharashtra unlock has to be carried out with the utmost care as it is one of the states which has been worst struck by the pandemic. The slew of restrictions was placed in March this year as the second wave of the pandemic had attacked the nation. The curbs had started to reduce over a period of time, but in June the state government had finally decided to stop the places of worship and cinema halls from opening. Mass gatherings were strictly banned in the state to prevent the infection’s spread to a greater degree.

Theatres Facing A Huge Loss
The theatres and auditoriums had appealed to the government of Maharashtra that the industry is facing huge losses because of their closure. It is a well-known fact that Maharashtra is the hub for most of the movies released in India. The closure of cinema halls has led to some severe consequences in the state. Maharashtra unlock will lead to the opening of these places, which is required in order to avoid the daily loss of 400 crore INR that is being faced by the industry at this moment. Films have always been a great source of revenue for Maharashtra. The closure of the theatres has certainly led to a gross economic downfall.
