[IAC#RG] THE LOCK-DOWN WILL HAVE TO BE FURTHER EXTENDED

With the extended lock-down due to end on 3rd May, in the prevailing dicey circumstances the government may have no option but to extend it further. We have seen how in our very populous nation the law enforcement authorities have over the last few weeks had a very arduous task enforcing the lock-down. So if it is prematurely withdrawn, hell may be let loose in these precarious times.

With new COVID-19 cases surfacing by almost a thousand a day, it is a matter of great concern while the continued deaths across the nation is also worrisome. To take no risks in the current fluid scene, the lock-down would have to be possibly extended by another four weeks and then reviewed. We need to tread cautiously and thoughtfully in dealing with this gruesome pandemic which has brought the whole world on its knees.

The government has to however ensure that the grocery stores are kept wide open so that everyone can get all the required essential commodities. Needless to say the authorities ensure that substandard or adulterated food stuff is not sold while also making sure that the prices are not inflated. The government is duty bound to meticulously see that no one remains hungry.

The country needs to be focused on battling the dreaded virus with all the possible resources at hand. For now politics or any politicking should take the back seat while we all stand as one great nation with Unity in Diversity as our strength.
