Mumbai: Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray on Saturday said that he was not in favor of completely removing the lockdown implemented in the state to prevent the spread of corona virus due to economic concerns. He said that considering the challenge posed by the global epidemic corona virus, there is a need to balance between health and economy related issues.

CM Thackeray further said, "I would never say that the lockdown should be completely ended." But I have slowly started reopening some things. Once reopened it should not be closed back. So, I want to take steps in a phased manner. You cannot just think about the economy or health. There is a need to strike a balance between the two. "CM Thackeray said," This epidemic is a global war. It has impacted the whole world. Countries that had opened a hasty lockdown thinking that the epidemic was over are forced to impose sanctions again to prevent it from spreading. In Australia, he had to seek military help.

CM Thackeray said, "Many people are opposing the lockdown. They say the economy is adversely affected by the lockdown. I would like to say to such people that I agree to remove the lockdown, but if people die due to this, will you take responsibility? We are also worried about the economy.
