Lata Mangeshkar Expresses Concern Over Rising Covid Cases in Mumbai

India’s most precious national treasure Bharat Ratna Lata Mangeshkar has some advice for Mumbaikars and Maharashtrians.

“My humble request to them with folded hands  is, please  don’t take  Covid lightly.  It is not gone as yet. People in Mumbai behave as  if the  threat  is over. Far from it. If we  don’t follow the  Covid guidelines carefully we will  be faced with  a second wave  of the pandemic,which will be worse than  the first,” says Lataji sadly.

She is   specially concerned  about the crowds  gathering at weddings. “In my hometown Sholapurthe administration allowed  only 50 guests  to begin with. They then  allowed  some  added guests . But one can see 2,000 guests at weddings. This  must stop. If we must have celebrations ,  have them  by  all means. But please stay within limits.”

 Lataji is  concerned  about the Covid cases in  the  entertainment industry. “I’ve heard  some of my favorite  people from  the industry are down with Covid.  My prayers are with them.”
