    It's basically depriving a common man from earning a living. People who enforce lock down get good monthly salary and perks. Common man daily wagers and commission agents are in trouble.
    I am forced to stay at home when I have to feed 3 people.
    Hope God gives wisdom and border and lock out may be opened

    Why one more lockdown was required when we already had a lockdown of nearly 3 months. Wasn't that time enough for the administration to get prepared. Because of the incompetent administration comman man has to suffer. What was the administration thinking when fully crowded buses were running. Why couldn't they put extra govt buses when lockdown was lifted.

    If noise & candles, torch flash light have made corona disappear then whole world would have used this method. Too much myth & superstition is a bad idea won't work well & brings a lot of criticism.

    Lockdown should have been for minimum 3 weeks.
    Lockdown should be extended so that more cases which are yet to come out is reported while others are safe inside their house.

    When people misuse freedom this will
    Come as consequence ..hotels started serving in plate
    Instead of carry home parcel, educated behaved as if social distancing and mask is only to others but LAW is watching YOU..
    So those who think lockdown is stupid idea know it's your conduct created this situation to all of us...
    As the vaccine is few days away very sensible decision
    As it gives clear warning to those who neglect law
    And social order

    The actual purpose of the lockdown in pandemics is for the authorities to buy time to prepare the Healthcare system. Lockdown does not reduce the spread. We have witnessed that in april may. Idk what they will achieve from this lockdown. Even if it does manage to reduce, it'll increase once lockdown is lifted.

    I can't understand how our administration is controlling this virus by keeping shops open for 3 hours???

    I think we will get lockdown results in day or two. Next administration allowed to open shops from 8am to 11am.

    But our Traffic department starts their blowing sirens after 11am. I suggest that the Traffic department must alert citizens from 10.45am , so the people as well as shop will close and reach home in lockdown time. Now I have noticed that shops they close at 11am and buyers are leaving shop at 11am . And on the road till 11.45, to 12 noon people are on the streets. This should be stopped. After 11 nobody should be out side.

    Lockdown decision is correct... since life is more valuable than money... Everyone know community spread has started in Mangalore , even if the testing is increased we cannot stop spreading of the infection.once if it goes beyond control govt will decide who has to be treated ,hope these days doesn't come to Mangalore. We all know its tough to live like this but we all know this is just temporary..

    brainless decision by the DC and people representatives. There is no need for lockdown at all.

    Instead of increasing testing, they are doing these nonsense things. Money is being eaten by concerned officials who are authorised to buy equipment and medicines.

    Gullible citizens are being looted by government and hospital management.

    These are the acche din promised by MA without BA chaiwala. Enjoy madi

    By letting people roam around freely and increasing the testing just doesn't make any sense.
    Its like sitting next to the mosquito breeding place and applying ODOMOS.
    Lockdown should be extended so that more cases which are yet to come out is reported while others are safe inside their house.
