“On Saturday evening, he was sitting in his lawn when a venomous snake bit him. He was immediately rushed to the hospital. He is now stable,” the party worker informed.

Yeoor was declared as a Covid-19 green zone as there were no cases of coronavirus. the villagers had asked the forest and civic officials not to allow anyone inside.

A villager said, “Few politicians frequent their bungalows in Yeoor. They come from outside the city and we fear might bring the virus to our village. Apart from the Sena MLC, NCP MLA has also quarantined himself at his Yeoor bungalow. Both were tested positive for coronavirus and should not have been allowed in a green zone.”

A forest official requesting anonymity said, “We cannot stop people who have their home inside the forest gate. As per the norms, they are allowed to stay there and no other outsiders are allowed.”
