With Unlock comes greater responsibility for all

The Federation of Retail Traders, an umbrella body of shops selling non-essentials as categorised by the government has also sent out a message of caution, stating that retailers have suffered tremendously. Now, it is up to the public to ensure we do not slide back.


Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray has said that the state is taking what he called a calculated risk, with this measure and the onus is on the people to see that there is no going back to full lockdown. This is a classic let us wait and watch approach.

This edit space has earlier highlighted how, when it comes to the Covid situation, we need to always look ahead. See how concessions can happen faster and actually facilitate these with our behaviour. We are not out of the woods by a long way yet.

The horrors of the beginning of the second wave should still be fresh in our minds. Begging for beds, literally and figuratively gasping for oxygen, the mad scramble for remdesivir and tocilizumab… those who have gone through this, relatives or patients themselves, may be forever scarred. 

Let every unlocking spur us on to put dedication, determination and discipline above all as we observe Covid protocol.
