Maharashtra Public Works Department (PWD) Minister Ashok Chavan on Monday (25 May) left for Mumbai from Nanded to get treated for COVID-19 after he was tested positive for the virus on Sunday night.
Former state chief minister (CM) was seen waving at his supporters in Nanded before departing in a cardiac ambulance. He is expected to reach Mumbai by the night via road as it was reported that he could not get permission for an air ambulance.

The security personnel kept the people away from the Minister when some supporters tried to get close to him.
Although the senior Congress leader has been diagnosed as an asymptomatic patient, he received treatment at a private hospital in Nanded for the night.
Chavan is the second Minister from CM Uddhav Thackeray’s Cabinet who has been tested positive for coronavirus.
Housing Minister Jitendra Awhad had also been infected with the virus last month. He has now been completely cured of COVID-19 and discharged after almost a month-long treatment.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
