*"Lockdown may stable the society but adversely affect the economy"
Now a days, Covid 19 Pendemic has shaken up the whole world and whole world is in great pain. Every day, millions of people are loosing their life due to this disease and still world is searching for its vaccination. I cannot say that either China has something to do with its spread or some other country has done something mischievous, but this Covid-19 has put everybody in homes. I can understand that at present, Govt. has not any other option except going for lockdown and every body knows that only lockdown is an available medicines for this pandemic. So I think we should obey the advisories/orders of the Government. The countries like America & Italy, implemented lockdown at that time when situation got out of control and due to their carelessness, many people lost their lives. We should thank our government that they had taken this decision well in time otherwise, everybody knows that we do not have ample medical facilities in the country and the mortality rate, which is controlled right now as compare to other countries, could go higher.
This lockdown has majorly effected the poor people and daily labour as they were dependent upon daily wages only. In my opinion, Govt. should either start some schemes for survival of such people. Some of the industries have started working, but due to this pandemic, most of labourer went back to their homes. For this, I think Govt. should make a policy that the people belongs to particular state should get some work in that state only so that they can earn something by remaining at their homes only by which the danger of spread of this disease will also shortened. No doubts, this lockdown has resulted in many positive things for society like clean and green cities, No pollution, air quality improved, no traffic problem etc. but this lockdown has broken our economy's back and our projected GDP is at its lowest value since last 2-3 decades.
Major companies in India such as Larsen & Toubro, Bharat Forge, UltraTech Cement, Grasim Industries, Aditya Birla Group,BHEL and Tata Motors have temporarily suspended or significantly reduced operations. Young startups have been impacted as funding has fallen. Fast-moving consumer goods companies in the country have significantly reduced operations and are focusing on essentials. Some defense deals have been affected/delayed due to the pandemic, such as the delivery of Dassault Rafale fighter jets. Stock markets have shown worst results.
But at last, rightly said by our PM that "JAAN HAI TO JAHAN HAI" means if country people will survive, together, all of us, can take our economy to an another height and India has potential to fight with such situation and we will definately jump from this at Winner.
