Good Move.

The Lock down extended by Tamil Nadu is a good decision by the government.This month they can monitor and next month they can ease.After more speculations Maharashtra has decided to extent lock down is wise.

This letter is regarding custodial deaths (“India: Tamil Nadu rages after death of father and son in police custody”, Gulf News, June 26). The recent father and son duo deaths in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu is sad. Media reports have suggested that the duo was brutally sexually assaulted in police custody. Police deny custodial death saying they are not responsible. No human being deserves such brutality, whatever be their crime. The guilty must not be allowed to go unpunished. I cannot even begin to imagine what the family must be going through. However, we are suspicious of the police department in Tamil Nadu. A fair probe can be made and bring out the truth.

Sad Incident

The recent Father and son duo deaths in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu Tuticorin area in the police station made lot of allegations against the Police and the Suspension of the Cop is the latest sensational news from South. Police is claiming no beating on them in the custody and they are not responsible for this

However still suspicion is on the department a fair probe can be made and bring out the truth.Since the duo has violated on the lockdown police has arrrested for the violation. This case should be investigated.

Letter Published in The National UAE on 28June 20ump in US Covid-19 cases is due to reckless behaviourI write to you in reference to your live blog entry US sees biggest one-day increase in Covid-19 cases (June 27).

This news item elaborately covers the highest 24-hour increase of Covid-19 cases in America. The US has announced a record 45,242 new cases on Friday June 26, signalling an alarming infection rate in the nation. These figures would not have jumped this high had people followed basic hygiene measures and simple medical recommendations such as wearing masks in public and practising social distancing. Some Americans' desire for total independence and freedom of movement, even in the midst of a pandemic, has hindered the US's response to the coronavirus.

Return of Migrant Workers.

Now some states thinking of removing lock down especially Karnataka in the coming days is a good gesture for the people's normalcy.It is very difficult to bring back the migrant workers who are mainly house keeping.construction workers as Bengaluru has stopped thousands of construction works will be a tough task to continue as migrant workers support needed and theh should be brought back.Above all if the lockdown period eased people should be more careful.

Hike in COViD-19 cases around the world

The new coronavirus is undoubtedly the greatest disrupter of our time. World Health Organisation (WHO) records record daily rise in new coronavirus cases (“COVID-19: Delhi coronavirus cases set to explode, hospitals running out of beds”, Gulf News, June 9). On Sunday 21 June, WHO recorded the biggest case rise both in North and South America, which is quite alarming. COViD -19 fever spread worldwide and now it's increasing. Despite efforts made to invent new medicines for this, the virus is spreading fast. No one can find out or assess the longevity of COViD-19. The disease that has changed the world forever. More than 106,000 deaths; around 1.7 million confirmed cases in 185 countries and territories. Enough reason to cower in fear. Coming days are very tough.

Letter Published in Gulf News UAE on 18June 20Racism rears ugly head in US with yet another shooting of a black man by police

Atlanta shooting by a white policeman at 27-year-old black man Rayshard Brooks was sad and painful (“ Watch: Atlanta cop fired after latest killing of black man in US”, Gulf News, June 14). After the recent shooting of George Floyd, which resulted in a massive protest by people all over the US against police brutality, racism is still a major problem. This is simply unacceptable. Violence against minorities seem to be on the increase. Despite many films and documentaries against racism, when will the disparity vanish?

India with the highest number of COVID-19 cases

High infection rates of COVID-19 in India is alarming (“Coronavirus cases set to explode, hospitals running out of beds”, Gulf News, June 09) . India records highest single-day jump in coronavirus cases. The country has now become the fourth most affected nation by the coronavirus pandemic. Despite a host of new measures implemented by the Indian government, the number of people infected with the virus has yet to come down. I believe this is due to people's carelessness, as many in the country are not following the rules put in place by the state for their own protection. As a result, the pandemic is now spreading faster than ever before. It is high time for the people of India to face the pandemic responsibly.
