    We were in top 3 when the whole thing started.
    Being out of limelight was so taxing, we will now open up to level where we are/will be 100% vulnerable and hence get the limelight.
    Until a sure cure is identified, lock-down or control in one form or the other is needed. If Government of the day shows relaxation by design, people will relax to a level that can easily let the whole situation out of control.
    We definitely don't want to top the second wave and live the adage viz., "only fools learn from their own mistake".

    If lockdown extended, so be it!!!

    But what about evacuation plan for us stranded NRIs in India, why dont govt send us out of India.

    How many population you want to accumulate, there are daily 500 to 1000s are returning to India. And as a result of huge population its like biryani for corona.

    Why cant u send us?There are nearly 10k+stranded NRI s in India who are in fear of losing jobs, some are students, some departed from spouses.

    This is very distressing. We have been trying to reach all authorities over twitter, embassies.
    But India is only repatriating, they are applying to one eye surma other eye charcoal.

    When we call etihad and emirates they say Indian subcontinent is not permitting to land them on Indian airspace, what is this dombarata?

    When UK, USA with freaking covid 19 data allows EY and EK why don't you?
    If not why dont you have mutual agreement n send us in Air India atleast.

    Down with your illegitimate logic!!!
