Is Mumbai Ready for 2022 BMC elections among a Rapid Spike in Covid Cases?

As We Enter into the Third Year of the Covid-19 Pandemic in India , I Have been Noticing The Evolution of Other Mutations of this Deadly Virus Which doesn’t Seem to be Deadly Anymore . Covid in 2020 was Considered to be a Life Threatening disease but now People Seemed to have Come to the Terms of the New Normal and Adjust to it. Evolution of a New Variant is as common as having a headache , Disturbing initially but coming to terms with it .

Post the Diwali , Christmas and New Years Celebrations in Mumbai , There has been a sudden rise in the cases and more asymptotic patients have been discovered more than serious ones . Among all this what caught my attention is a question Where Elections will be conducted in Mumbai District or not ?

Ban in Gatherings , Night Curfews , Imposing Sec 144 , Shutting Schools and Colleges , Offices working in 50% capacity Mumbai is trying to maintain a lot of precautions , but how good is this going ?

With Elections Coming Up , An major worry is how will Social Distancing be Practiced and for how Long People will be Wearing Masks? , Since elections involve Identification of an Individual before Voting and Marking them on their Hands which includes Skin to Skin contact . With Covid 19 Evolving and Evolving. I just Pray that New Methods of Voting the candidates Through Online Websites come up so as to avoid Crowding at the Voting Booth which shall empower BMC and the Citizens to Combat the Virus and Reduce it’s spread .
