BJP to launch protest if fully vaccinated people not allowed to travel by Mumbai local trains

Maharashtra BJP leader Pravin Darekar on Sunday said the party will launch protests if the state government doesn't allow people who have taken two doses of COVID-19 vaccine to travel by local trains in Mumbai.

Darekar said residents of Thane, Karjat and Kasara need to travel to their work places in Mumbai but they couldn't due to the covid restrictions on the train travel.

"I will take up this issue with Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray. If children are allowed to attend schools in California, then what stops this government from allowing the people to travel in trains?" he questioned.

Darekar also said he will speak to Railway Minister in this regard.

"If no decision is taken, the BJP will launch an agitation including 'Rail Roko'," he added.
