Broadly, the announcements seem to be in line with Modi’s updated mantra of 'jaan bhi jahaan bhi' The all-new version of the lockdown, as described by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, was unveiled on Sunday.
Restrictions have been extended until 31 May, although significant relaxations have been granted. Red zones, except for containment areas, have been opened to economic activity; interstate and intrastate passenger vehicle movement can resume; restaurants can deliver food, though they can’t host guests; and stadiums can hold events, albeit without spectators.
Broadly, the announcements seem to be in line with Modi’s updated mantra of “jaan bhi jahaan bhi". Lives and livelihoods, both.
