In North Mumbai, police have already enforced complete lockdown in parts of Malad East. Police has now asked BMC to enforced complete lockdown in parts of Borivli, Dahisar and Kandivli.
Apart from this BMC's S ward which includes Kanjurmarg, the authority has planned to shut shops selling non-essentials in a few areas.
"For 8 days or so we had a complete lockdown in Appapada and Kokanipada in Malad as infection rate was high. It is expected to be extended for another week," said regional addl CP Dilip Sawant.
Some parts of Malwani such as MHB Colony, Rathodi, Shivaji Nagar etc. have been locked down by BMC till June 20. Police have proposed a similar total lockdown at Kajupada in Borivli East, Ketkipada in Dahisar East and Poisar in Kandivli.
