Friends,
Covid-19 has emerged as a extremely serious / severe disease in India as well. With the rise of Covid-19 Positive patients here, Govt. Of India has imposed a Nationwide lock-down for next 21 days. There have been exemptions made for essential services / commodities and for people related with essential services in India. Would like to know, how has been your experience on the 1st day of lockdown w.r.t availability of the following:
1) Groceries
2) Medical Shops
3) ATMs / Banks
You can add your experience about any other "EXEMPTED SERVICE" as well during this lock-down period on this thread.
As per my experience, our local Mother Dairy did not have milk till 12pm as the truck that needs to arrive hadn't come by that time. The attendant was waiting for it since morning. Secondly, only 1 grocery shop functional and it did not have ATTA. Since both my parents are 60 & 65+ so I categorically told them to stay inside. In our area, all entry exit gates are closed baring 1 which is open only one way in case of emergency requirements.
Since in our area there was a delayed supply of the essentials, hence had to go to nearby sector's grocery mart to buy them. On way, was informed, driving without a mask is prohibited presently. So, as I had some groceries with me so the police people and traffic police also guided very politely and I showed them the carry bags as well. They are indeed doing a very good job in these tough times. May their health always be good. My sincere request to all is to fully cooperate with them and do not go out unless S.0.S necessity is there. At the mart, not more 2-3 people were allowed. Prior to the entry, hand sanitizer was used for customers and the buyers were made to stand in line with proper distance maintained as has been requested.
