People made a mockery of the 21-day lockdown on day one, especially in states that celebrated Ugadi and Gudi Padwa. But UP CM Yogi Adityanath was the biggest violator with his event to shift idols of Ram Lalla. If leaders break the rules they make, what’s there to stop the people?
KCR shoot-at-sight order unwise. People must be urged to comply with lockdown, not threatened
Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao’s threat of shoot-at-sight orders to enforce the 21-day coronavirus lockdown is reckless and unwise. Governments must use their persuasive powers to gain the confidence and cooperation of their citizens, especially in times of crises. Any coercion or threat from the government will be counter-productive.
