The Shiv Sena led Maha Vikas Aghadi government on Sunday announced that they will reduce the Value Added Tax (VAT) by Rs. 2.08 for Petrol per litre and ₹1.44 for diesel per litre with immediate effect. This comes a day after the Centre’s decision to excise duty on petrol and diesel prices.

Mumbai on Sunday reported 234 new Covid-19 cases, zero deaths. A total of 151 patients were discharged during the day. At present there are 1,294 active cases in the city and the recovery rate stands at 98 per cent.

Addressing a rally in Pune, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena Chief Raj Thackeray Sunday reiterated his demand to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to bring in a Uniform Civil Code at the earliest. Thackeray was speaking at the Ganesh Kala Krida Manch in Pune. Thackeray also asked to rename Aurangabad to Sambhajinagar, ANI reported.

After his much-talked-about Ayodhya visit on June 5 has been cancelled, Thackeray said, “Two days ago, I tweeted about postponing my Ayodhya visit. I intentionally gave the statement to allow everyone to give their reactions. Those who were against my Ayodhya visit were trying to trap me, but I decided not to fall into this controversy.”
