Thane (Maharashtra) [India], July 20 (ANI): Two senior inspectors were suspended and two assistant commissioners of police transferred on Monday after a Marathi news channel aired footage showing bars in Thane's Naupada and Vartka Nagar areas operational amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
The matter came to light when a Marathi news channel aired footage of a sting operation, which showed dance bars operating, flouting the rules as well as restrictions put into place in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

TMC's jibe at Centre amid LPG crisis due to West Asia conflict

In an 'X' post, TMC said the government has "ek hi naara, line mein rahe desh bechara," pointing to past governmental measures including demonetisation, the COVID-19 vaccine rollout, the Special Identification Registration (SIR), and now the LPG shortage.
