NEW DELHI : Violence and chaos marred India’s first day of freedom from its stringent coronavirus lockdown as migrant workers clashed with police in Surat and brawls erupted outside liquor shops in the national capital.
The country on Monday partially eased movement curbs across all but the worst infection-hit areas in an attempt to restart its stalled economy.
Liquor shops, closed for 40 days under the strict stay-at-home orders, also reopened allowing state governments to earn some much-needed tax revenue.
The prolonged lockdown has hit millions of daily wage earners and migrant workers across the nation of 1.3 billion as jobs and income dried up overnight, leaving them penniless and stranded in the cities where they work.
