Day 464

    The central government allowed to open the liquor shops across the country. The buyers got so much happy that they forgot all the rules and regulations. They didn’t care about the social distancing also. Well, in Noida, everything was under control because of the presence of the police. But the places where police wasn’t present then there was total chaos. Actually there was bad reaction about this. Health Minister of Haryana, Mr Anil Vij, has said that relaxation in the lockdown has made him fearful. Indeed, the response from the public at the wine shops is really condemnable.

    I agree that people didn’t had wine for the last 40 days so they became impatient after seeing the wine shop open. They should have shown some more patience. Opposition parties will try to attack the government for this but the decision taken by the government wasn’t based on misbehave of the people. Due to lockdown, all the industries are shut down. Already, the government is giving financial support to the economical poor of the society by giving them money directly in their bank accounts. But where the money will come from when there is no industry running? All the business has come to stand still due to the lockdown.

    This may have forced the government to allow the liquor shops to open. But I think no one would have expected people to react in this way. This is the reason why the government has to think again about this. I think there will be more deployment of police at the liquor shops to control the mass. That will be appropriate. There won’t be any rush and everything will be fine.

In my view, the government should start other industries also in phase wise. I’m sure that government must have planned some strategy but it’s waiting for the right time. I don’t think that government want to take any risk about the health of anyone. Already the rate at which the new cases are registered and deaths are happening is alarming. The rate of recovery is 28% which isn’t just satisfactory. It should have been much more. I know that healthcare workers are doing their best to save more lives. But at the end, it’s we, as the citizen of India, that has to be patience and supportive to the government. Government can build hospitals and appoint doctors, nurses and paramedical staffs but we have to look after ourselves on our own to save us from corona virus.

So, I request you all to be little more patience. I know that everyone is fed up now with the lockdown and lack of commodities. Believe me, everyone is facing the same problem. Actually, we are used to work from Monday to Saturday and to have rest on Sunday. But the holiday which we are getting as in form of lockdown is making us irritated. Well, we have to fight with corona to make our self and our family safe. So, it’s worthy to be at home.
