Lock Down In India might become devastating

Covid-19 And The LockDown In India

The entire human race is encountering coronavirus today that started from Wuhan, China. This fatal virus already took thousands of lives yet and still counting. However, in India, it has not become devastating yet as it became in the many parts of the world. India also executed lockdown gauges to stop this virus from spreading and till now it worked, as an effected number not attained the mark of thousand yet.

India started Lockdown from the 22nd of March 2020, just before the honourable Indian Prime minister Mr Narendra Modi asks people of India to be inside in their house on 22 nd of the march from 7 am morning till 9 pm night and he named it "Janta Curfew".Soon after the one day, lockdown ends many states announced lockdown till 31 st of March 2020. Peoples working at numerous parts of the country has been struck in the different states where they are working and most of them are relying upon the local restaurant's food that has been closed due to this coronavirus lockdown. Now, most people don't have alternatives for eating food, as government advice them to dwell wherever you are and don't rush to come home.

Perhaps, government forget that the people working in giant corporations and who are earning above the average can somehow manage to survive in this hard time even it is hard for them as well because this lockdown has been implemented without any proper planning. However, the people who are not working in giant corporations and don't earn enough money will not survive long and this lockdown becoming harsh for them every passing day, especially for the daily wages breadwinners who earn daily and eat every day with that money.

People stuck in different states and trying to go back in their respective states but due to the lockdown all the states border has been seized by the state government and they are not letting them leave the state or enter in another state. As we knew people from Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan, Punjab, Jammu & Kashmir, Ladhak etc are working in NRC ( National Capital Region) especially in Noida, UP and Gurugram, Haryana. However, they are not allowed to stridden and companies they are working in already abandoned them and their last hope are their respective state governments to evacuate them or let them go to their respective states or home. Possibly their state government already abandoned them and they are not even attempting to get their own peoples home safely. The people had no discretion left and they are strolling towards their hometown by their own and some needs to hike thousands of miles to arrive their home back and the state governments along with central federal government not accomplishing anything to assist them and it seems like poor are undergoing something nastiest than Coronavirus outburst and they didn't have an alternative but walk only.

The country that is enormous in geography with a population of 1.3 billion people can't go for lockdown without any adequate planning. This could steer the nation into new crises and might evolve more severe than the Coronavirus outburst in the country. Conceivably, the federal government should reconsider the policy of the lockdown and let people go to their respective place and their thermal scanning must be concocted by the state government precisely.
