Dharavi raised a ray of hope against Corona
Significantly, in the world’s largest slum, Dharavi in Mumbai, a ray of hope has been raised against the corona virus. The work of the last two months of about 5000 people, including doctors, nurses, municipality workers and volunteers, has started to bring color. All of them had only one objective to bring Dharavi, which became the hotspot of Corona, to normalcy. And slowly but now success is coming closer.
During the month of June, the number of corona patients in this slum area has come to a great extent. Due to a large number of cases coming together in April and May, it was believed that Dharavi could emerge as a big problem for the Maharashtra government. Only after this, BMC started taking action with rapid pace and started isolating people with high speed testing.
Number of newly infected cases decreased in Mumbai
If we look at the figures for the month of June, then the number of newly arrived corona cases in Mumbai has decreased. But with this, the pace of new cases has increased in other districts. Initially, Mumbai and Pune emerged as the biggest challenge for the Maharashtra government.
