In a letter to Modi, Rahul Gandhi said number of poor Indians dependent on a daily income is simply too large to unilaterally shut down all economic activity.
With gyms, yoga studios and health clubs across India shut due to the coronavirus pandemic, many Indians are devising creative ways to stay fit and keep others fit as well.
The total lockdown perhaps makes sense in a world in which Covid-19 carries extremely high mortality rates. The Modi government needs to re-think its policy.
News channels were also in two minds about removing stray dogs to the government dog pounds. NDTV took credit for it and CNN-News 18 called ‘controversial order’.
Centre for Science and Environment in new report makes case for rationalising GST on waste material, saying most informal operators can’t afford high tax & it also hinders recycling.

Standing up to America is usually not a personal risk for a leader in India. Any suggestions of foreign pressure unites India behind who they see as leading them in that fight.
“… the 21-day nationwide lockdown with only four hours of notice…”
The above is a quote from the article. You have answered the question yourself – – the people who are migrating are VICTIMS and not violators.
But why should the PM give “only four hours of notice”? Anyone who knows even the ABC of human psychology will tell you that the answer to this question is dangerous. I am not one of them, I mean, I don’t know the ABC, but a very disturbing thought comes to my mind – – the nuclear button is in the pocket of the Commander in Chief of India’s armed forces, and that commander in chief is in this man’s pocket!!
If all I have is a sledgehammer, everything will look like a nail to me. To be sprayed with chemical disinfectant. A pregnant woman walking a hundred kilometres. People being killed in hit and run accidents, even on deserted highways. Forced into quarantine after somehow reaching their states. The media shamed some governments into providing emergency bus services. 2. There is no way these poor migrant workers could have been fed and kept alive by the government in the cities. Willing to bet my iPad India will not be up and running on Day 22. See how swiftly President Trump has had to extend the social distancing guidelines to the end of April, is now mentally preparing Americans to see 1,00,000 to 2,00,000 deaths. How tenaciously PM Abe fought to keep the Olympics on schedule. 3. All these poor people should have been thought of while decreeing the national lockdown. Arrangements made to send them back swiftly to their villages. Ensure that small sums of money and rations reach them at home. Usse bahyut zyaada umeed karna vyarth hai.
