    Hope this arrested people are kept at the required social distances.otherwise there will be pockets of new cases by these arrests.

    Are these 11,000 odd released soon or do they also add to the Pandemic blues of the Remand Prisons? A suitable fine may be an alternative

    Curfew seems to apply only on main roads. Life as normal in other places. Shops open on by roads, liquor sales, people having parties. It's a joke.
