Article on Lockdown(By Vandana)

The World was almost busy in enjoying the every second of life to great extent before the arrival of Covid-19 .Everything was quite smooth .No one had ever imagined that a single virus could destroy the economy as well as the well being of all living creatures .This Covid-19 has taught us that nothing is permanant in this world .Things are not in our hand but what is in our hand is to be ready for any adverse situation keeping in mind about the importance of having positive attitude .

I still remember it was 24 March 2020 when India’s Prime Minister Mr.Narendra Modi proclaimed nationwide lockdown for 21days .Earlier it was expected that after 21 days things will be alright but with the passage of time thing turned out to be worse.I have noticed that after listening news of lockdown country’s people started maintaining stock at their homes.During lockdown some people even forgot about humanity .Some people took advantage of this situation and started or engaged themselves in activity like blackmarketing .Its shameful but yes those people just for the sake of money were charging high prices from people.Time when people were unemployed they were charging more than the MRP. Now it was like common news to have lockdown State wise.Even people were familiar with lockdown .But due to this lockdown not only markets but also schools ,Cinemas and many business class groups were all impacted .The worst impact of lockdown was noticed on daily wagers .The daily worker groups were so desperate to work they even avoided their own health .According to them in both situation they had to die whether its pandemic or due to lack of money for their survival.Also during lockdown daily wagers had to migrate to their hometowns in absence of employment.It was pathetic to saw them continuously struggling for help from government .Its hard to even feel what they were going through .It was nice feeling when I observed that not all people were selfish at that time.Some people helped the needy people .Whether it was help related to food or to other requirements .We all need to pay gratitude to such people .Even now situation is not better enough.Not only economically but also mentally everyone due to Covid-19 has brought a sense of fear and anxiety all around .This phenomenon has converted the positive environment into negative one .We all are along with this pandemic facing mental health issues.Everyday we all are hearing news about people who are dying due to this pandemic.Its really painful to see own people dying because of lack of oxygen ,absence of proper infrastructural facilities ,medical facilities and lack of even medical staff .Not only we are facing these problems but simultaneously political conspiracy is going on.Each and every political party instead of focusing on current issue ready to blame one another.WHO is working tiredlessly with Nation partners to manufacture ,develop and deploy vaccine .Even government is also providing vaccine to its citizens free of cost.

Its time to think during this lockdown to continuously follow guidelines issued by Health ministry .Its time to stand together to protect not only oneself but also one’s family members .It’s time to consider all citizen of a nation as own family.Its time to give helping hand to those who are in need.Its not only the government who is responsible for everything .Being a good & responsible citizen we need to understand the need of an hour and to behave like lawful and responsible citizen of a nation who instead of blaming government are more aware of their own duties and responsibilities.We all need to understand unity in diversity.Only through this attitude we can cope up with this pandemic .We can help each other and can fight against Covid -19 because an effort on part of individual person is enough to fight against this war.
