    Right from the first lockdown on March 20, 2020 with 4 hours notice decision ever thing is botched up creating more destruction than any positive outcome! Even during the present intermittent lockdowns, religious functions, processions with thousands of people crowded in small areas was going on in full swing! This is the state of affairs then what good sensible decisions one can expect!

    Whatever their motive, it is a good decision for the common man who has to earn his daily bread. Let those who have money sit at home and spend it amusing themselves watching TV, surfing the Net, stuffing themselves with food, .... become couch potatoes in short. Let those who want to work, work and feed themselves and their families. The couch potatoes will soon get all the other dangerous killers if they don't already have them....high BP, cholesterol, diabetes, and what not. One way or another someday we will die. So live while you are alive. Live and serve.

    "If positive cases are reported in any class, such classes will be closed and sanitization will be done" Definitely atleast a few cases will be found in each classroom as the infection is still spreading?
