Mumbai news live: The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) owes Rs 14.82 crore to Mumbai police for the security they provided during various cricket matches, including the women’s World Cup, T-20, Test and one-day matches, a police official claimed on Tuesday. The police have sent multiple reminders to MCA officials in the last couple of years, but they have not paid the charges, news agency PTI reported.

Maharashtra’s Home Department has decided to withdraw all cases filed under Section 188 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) during the lockdown against students and other citizens for violation of norms, according to news agency ANI. Once the decision is approved by the Cabinet, the process of withdrawal of cases will start, said Maharashtra Home Minister Dilip W Patil.

Maharashtra Energy Minister Nitin Raut on Monday said he has cancelled his meeting, scheduled for Tuesday, with unions representing staffers of government-run power companies as the strike continued despite his request to call it off. Raut had confirmed earlier the invocation of Maharashtra Essential Services Maintenance Act (MESMA) in the state following the nationwide strike by trade unions on March 28-29 against the alleged privatisation of power companies. This restricts the participation of employees from state-run electricity companies to join the protest.
