Mumbai, Jul 19: A day after BMC served notice to Lilly Mendosa, who is the mother of RJ Malishka, after breeding spots for mosquitoes were found at her Bandra Pali Hill road house, questions have been raised over timing of the notice.

The BMC clarified that it was a routine check which they conduct throughout Mumbai, and the official who served notice to Lilly Mendosa was not even aware who was staying there.

"Linkage of this notice to political issue is not good. Our local officials were conducting routine check of societies. We have served notice to some Agwal on first floor of same building where Lilly Mendosa stays. So we have not sent notice only to Ms Mendosa alone," said Rajan Narignekar, head of pesticides department.

BMC has started taking serious preventive measures against Dengue, malaria and other diseases caused by mosquitoes. So far BMC has sent notices to 8,744 people in which 432 people have appeared in front of metropolitan magistrate. So far BMC has recovered fine of Rs 20,04,600.

"Notice to Lilly Mendosa was served under 381B. Now metropolitan magistrate will send summons to her for hearing and there metropolitan magistrate will decide the amount of fine. It's upto her to accept her offense in front of metropolitan magistrate or not. In such offense fine range is from Rs 2000 to Rs 10,000 but that magistrate will decide," said Rajan Narignekar.

RJ Malishka had come up with a video which talked about Mumbai rains and BMC, but the video did not go down well with Shiv Sena, who has been ruling BMC since last 25 years, and which has asked the BMC Commissioner to file a Rs 500 crore defamation suit against Pvt FM channel which created this video.

"Our corporators have asked BMC to take legal action against Radio Channel. That video is an insult to BMC and its workers who work day and night to keep Mumbai on track. Shiv Sena or BMC is not at all targeting Malishka and notice sent to her about dengue mosquitoes was part of routine check. Why can't you people appreciate the work of BMC," said Kishori Pendenakar, Shiv Sena corporator.

While Shiv Sena is criticising Malishka for her video on BMC, its alliance partner, BJP, on the other hand came to her rescue.

BJP Mumbai chief Ashish Shelar tweeted and appreciated Malishka's efforts to express Mumbai's problem. In a tweet Shelar wrote, "It is Brave of Malishka to come out of comfort zone and apply her creativity to express Mumbai's problem."

Neither RJ Malishka or her mother Lilly Mendosa were available to comments.

It has been seen in recent past that those who raised their voice against BMC would always face some action. First it was comedian actor Kapil Sharma and now RJ Malishka.

BMC might say that it is not targeting anyone, but their actions speak something else.

New Delhi, Apr 16: Actor Salman Khan on Thursday put out a sharp message to the "jokers" who were flouting government-imposed guidelines and venturing out during the ongoing lockdown, putting at risk countless lives to the deadly coronavirus.

In his characteristic 'Bhai' style, Salman also appealed to people to not attack doctors, nurses and police personnel who are in the frontline of the battle against COVID-19.

In a 10-minute hard hitting video shared on Instagram he begins with a "Hello, namaste, salaam, sasriyakaal, Kem Cho' in typical TV reality show 'Big Boss' style and goes on to say 'Zindagi ka Bigg Boss' has begun with the entire country staying in lockdown mode at home.
He said he had taken a two-day "chhutti" (leave) but "This corona, COVID-19 has given everyone a 'chutti'."

Khan said he was staying at his farmhouse in Panvel near Mumbai with his family including his mother, two sisters their children and some other people who had come to visit.

In the video he said that he had sent a friend to get rations for the family from a village around five kilometres away. He recounted that the police stopped him and in the process, his friend took off the mask to speak to the policeman who reprimanded him and asked him to put the mask back on. Salman said that he too chided his friend for doing such a thing.

"Don't go out, don't do social gatherings, stay with your family, the government has said if you are doing namaaz, do it at home, do pooja at home..." the actor said, adding that those who had a wish to kill their families should step out.
"Go out get your ration, nobody is stopping you, go nearby but wear your masks, your gloves, go alone," the actor said underlining that the government has assured that everybody will get ration.

The actor said that whoever does not understand a coronavirus positive patient's pain is anti-human.

He pointed out that doctors, nurses and policemen are putting in long hours to curb the spread of coronavirus and urged people to respect their work and stay inside.

The actor said policemen would not have taken action and hit people if they followed guidelines and stayed inside. "If you weren't going out with friends, police wouldn't have hit you. Do you think police are enjoying it?," he asked.

"Doctors and nurses are working to save your lives and what do you do? You started pelting stones at them? Those who have been diagnosed with coronavirus, are running away from the hospitals. Where are you running? Towards life or death?," he questioned in his video.

The 'Dabangg 2' star appreciated the efforts by the frontline warriors and said, "the virus that started in China is over in China now, but because of a few jokers, the whole of India will sit at home for a long time."

The 54-year-old star said that he was aware of many people who wouldn't come out of their homes earlier but have started doing so since they've been asked to not go out.

"You are putting everyone's lives at risk," the Bajrangi Bhaijaan actor said.

Salman concluded by urging people to respect the work of the doctors, nurses, police personnel and those who work in banks, take care to ensure that the disease does not spread further and pray that it does not come to a situation where the military has to be called in to stop people from doing the wrong thing.

Filmmaker Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri took to Twitter to shared the video message. "Very well said @BeingSalmanKhan I hope wisdom prevails everywhere," he tweeted.
