Complete breakdown of our economy

Covid-19 is a deadly pandemic which is spreading all over the world. In the beginning, we were unable to find out from where the disease originated. So, our government asked the whole country to maintain lockdown.

Lockdown is the only weapon to stop coronavirus. On the other hand, this lockdown resulted in complete breakdown of our economy. The people who affected badly are self employed, small scale industry workers etc. The government has provided Atma Nirbhar (self reliant), a special economic package of Rs 20L crores, nearly 10 percent of GDP of our country, to come out of the huge crisis.

Migrants from the every nook and corner of the country are returning to their respective villages. Government should provide them with sufficient work at their native places in MNREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act). scheme

After the 1st and 2nd phase of lockdown, government reviewed the situation and allowed relaxation for some sectors in 3rd phase, to fulfill the basic needs of common people. In the recent speech of Prime Minister, Narendra Modi hinted that some more relaxation may be given in the 4th phase of lockdown, which will be effective from 18th of this month.

But now all the responsibility is on our shoulders. So, it is our duty to be more careful and to follow the precautions to fight the virus.

As Malcolm X, a human rights activists, of America said,

"When I is replaced by we, even illness becomes wellness."

We must maintain brotherhood among ourselves and save our country from this epidemic.
