Lockdown collapses: thousands of people deploy on Delhi-UP border, 1000 buses set

New Delhi, Mar 28, 2020 Saturday

Lockdown on Delhi and UP border has completely collapsed. Social distancing has disappeared due to the influx of thousands of people fleeing from Delhi to their homeland in UP.

There are scenes of chaos after people left for their hometown on Friday, fearing that they would die of hunger because of lockdown. People killed in panic are not ready to hear an appeal.

On the other hand, the situation of people moving to the homeland is worse as the government has not taken this into consideration before the lockdown. On the other hand, these people have raised the risk of spread of corona in rural areas.

Seeing the people's escape, the system is now in action. UP Government has announced to put 1000 buses on the UP-Delhi border to deliver people to their homes.

The movement of these buses has started from this morning. Which will deliver people to different districts of UP. However, it is a question of whether these buses will be sufficient, given the number of people.
