There was no “plan” to do this 3 weeks lockdown either… And it shows.
Dear GoI, do whatever necessary but please do it with lot of “planning”. Stop taking decisions randomly. https://t.co/tXjmXgF0gn

Prime Minister Narendra Modi had announced a three-week nationwide lockdown, which came into effect on March 25, to curb the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.
The Prime Minister later apologised for the difficulties that the poor, especially migrant workers, have been facing due to the lockdown which was announced 4-hours before it came into effect. Following the lockdown, there has been a massive exodus of migrant workers from big cities to their villages after being rendered jobless.
