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.
MoSPI proposes to remove closed factories from IIP sample, aiming for truer picture of India’s industrial health in upcoming 2022–23 base series. Plan open to public feedback until 25 November.
Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
“… 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.
