We are currently on the Ninth day of the Three Weeks Nationwide Lockdown. The country did register more than 2100 cases and a majority of them due to a Religious event in Delhi in mid-March. With the cases on a steep rise, there are speculations that the Lockdown may be extended after April 14th.
But then, sources in the Government of India tells us that the Lockdown may be relaxed in phases from April 14th. The Relaxations are planned in a way that the people do not come on roads all at a time. Very soon, a plan will be chalked and accordingly, it will be rolled out.
Also, there are reports that there will be different criteria to different states depending on the situation in the respective states. Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a Video Conference with all the Chief Ministers across the country and also discussed the aftermatch consequences of the Lockdown Relaxation with them.
“States and Centre must formulate a common exit strategy to ensure staggered re-emergence of the population once Lockdown ends,” the Prime Minister said. On the other side, Experts say that the Lockdown should continue for few more weeks to flatten the curve and the Government of India may be trying to relax in the wake of huge economical losses.
