Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar on Saturday requested citizens to celebrate Mahavir and Hanuman Jayanti and observe Shab-e-Barat next week by staying inside home during the coronavirus pandemic lockdown.

Mahavir Jayanti will be celebrated on Monday while Hanuman Jayanti and Shab-e-Barat fall on Wednesday.

"People should not step out of home on the occasion of Mahavir Jayanti, Hanuman Jayanti and Shab-e-Barat. Offer worship and prayers staying inside home," Pawar said in a statement.

Doctors, police and municipal employees were discharging their duties by risking their lives, Pawar said.

"The majority of people are staying inside home. But this fight against coronavirus receives setback due to few people who are roaming on streets," said the minister.
