Explanation:
Refer to ‘Crop loss due to rain’ (April 28); untimely rain during April-May not only damages standing crops but also a few thousand tonnes of grains lying in mandis every year. Still, neither the government nor mandi boards have taken any plausible steps to check this avoidable loss. The wet grain decays in the godowns and is declared unfit for consumption. The state governments must learn from the Army storage system in open areas, where cement platforms are constructed with steel hooks on all four sides to hold the tarpaulin as a safety measure against heavy rain and storm. The government desists from creating permanent structures like sheds and silos for want of funds, and wherever sheds are constructed, the base is not raised, allowing water to enter the sheds. To check this loss, adequate number of platforms must be constructed.

Not language of war
The pandemic should be talked about, without spreading fear and stigma in society. The metaphor used for coronavirus is ‘war’, which is inappropriate. It leads to expectations from ‘corona fighters’ to behave like soldiers and heroes. It is also expected from doctors and nurses to not complain of their problems, which is incorrect. The virus should be humanised. Patients are being dealt with as criminals, leading to increased cases of verbal violence. There should be transparency in communication without creating panic. The virus has become a matter of fights between nations, which breaks down global solidarity. ‘Social distancing’ is itself a terrible notion. It reflects that we are all now an island; alone. This pandemic should be treated as a journey which includes planning, coordination and obstacles as well.

Chasm grows
Reference to ‘Scourge of neoliberalism in times of Covid’ (April 28); while millions stand agape at the Facebook-Jio deal involving billions of dollars, the scene of water and food distribution among quarantined people in Agra is disgraceful, bringing to the fore the hell of poverty, hunger, filth and disease engulfing the poor. While a handful of industrialists, politicians and bureaucrats have amassed unimaginably aplenty, employees and pensioners see their DA instalments freeze. Poverty has been an amalgamated untouchability apparatus besides caste, religious and gender toxicity. Corona times have deepened the abyss and widened the gyre of the pandemic of economic inequality, blighting our democracy even in post-colonial times.

Liquor sale can wait
As the coronavirus is eating into the revenues of the Centre and state governments, there has been a continual demand to allow the sale of liquor. No doubt, the governments need money to tackle this unprecedented crisis, but the social implications of allowing liquor sale will be more harmful. Liquor addicts will rush to buy it with the negligible cash available at home. Families will be starving and drunken men having nowhere else to go, will create a ruckus at home. Domestic violence will increase and become a headache for the already burdened police.

Online learning
The education sector is going online to maintain the flow of education. Virtual classes are being held structurally following a proper timetable. The HRD Minister has advised the heads of all academic institutions in the country to make use of the digital platform for keeping students up to date with the academic calendar. While online learning is playing an important role, there are some hurdles like lack of infrastructure, resources and poor Net speed in remote areas.

Smacks of colonial era
Refer to ‘Making MLAs, MPs accountable’ (The Sunday Tribune, April 26); with a heavy heart, we have to accept that we are still leaving in superficial freedom in our country, where our bureaucrats follow the colonial system, in liaison with politicians, for their personal benefits and twist our legal system to make the common man suffer more. Moreover, the clerical system in these bureaucratic offices encourages sycophancy and red tape.

Interesting read
During the lockdown, I have been reading The Tribune, especially ‘On this day...100 years ago’. The English written at that time seemed to be tough and the sentences were also long. The spellings of some words are different from what we are using now. The names of some towns and cities were also spelled differently. But it is very interesting to follow, read and understand the news of that time.
