“Lack Of Governance Once Again” By PM Modi, 21 Days Lockdown Nationwide
Mumbai: Such Emergency measures are taken amidst Coronavirus Pandemic Outbreak. But once again Modi government has failed to implement the necessity of the people without making provisions for their daily essentials and announcing 21 days lockdown Nationwide.
My Question Arise As Below:-
Has the government thought about the daily wagers and their families?
How will they survive during this Lockdown period?
What about the Senior Citizens staying alone whose children’s are abroad?
What measures are taken to ensure that the common people’s are not affected?
When there’s no Goods Transported how can people purchase food material and other essentials thing?
Keeping Banks open is of no use as the entire business are closed for emergency people can use their ATM?
India’s Abrupt Shutdown Sparks Panic Buying
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s abrupt announcement of a strict 21-day nationwide lockdown, starting from midnight Tuesday, has sparked a frenzy of panic buying, as urban consumers mobbed pharmacies and food-shops immediately after his address.
In his speech, Mr Modi warned that anyone stepping out of their house could face criminal prosecution, as he sternly ordered India’s 1.37bn people to stay home for the next 21 days. Mr Modi assured people that the government would work to maintain supplies of essential commodities, such as milk, fruits and vegetables. But he was vague about how people were supposed to obtain such essentials if not permitted to set foot outside their house.
In the last days, overly zealous police have also been impeding e-commerce company workers attempting to deliver groceries to people shut inside their homes, raising concerns about whether supply lines could be maintained. Shortly after his speech was over, Indians started sharing photos on social media of throngs of people crowding shops to try to stock up on essentials prior to the curfew.
Many Indians retain traumatic memories of Mr Modi’s 2016 demonetisation, when he abruptly invalidated most of the country’s currency in circulation, severely disrupting an economy that ran primarily on cash.
