Mumbai : Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Thursday asked labour unions to set up COVID-19 vigilance committees in factory premises for the safety of workers. I urge the labour unions to create awareness about adopting COVID-appropriate behaviour. Gram panchayat elections, marriage ceremonies led to the spread of the virus again, the chief minister said, adding that it began from some cities in Vidarbha. "COVID-19 vigilance committees should be set up," he said. The labour unions should also ensure that the factory owners arrange for the testing of workers, he said.
