India’s lockdown extended

The extension of the lockdown in India from April 15 from May 3 was a welcome move from Prime Minster Narendra Modi (“COVID-19 in India: Lockdown reveals fresh air, cleaner rivers", www.gulfnews.com, April 22). The announcement gave good news for the Indians who were staying at home. The lockdown deadline is May 3, which makes the total days people in India would have spent in lockdown, to be 40. I think India has monitored the coronavirus pandemic very well and compared to the population of India. The main task for the Modi government is to make arrangements for the migrant workers staying in various states. This issue is very important and the government needs to act.
